About

Kay Stopford with former husband Mark Hobson on their wedding day

Their stories are shocking, terrifying and heart-breaking. Each of the women featured in Married to a Murderer was once married to one of Britain’s most notorious killers.

We tell the stories of marriage and murder, and the parallel tale of a criminal investigation. They are about the creeping suspicions, the tell-tale signs, about the transformation from an apparently normal, loving boyfriend or husband to something menacing, calculating, erratic, frightening, violent and deadly.

For some, their husband went out one day, killed and came home to them as if nothing had happened. For others, the perfect marriage to their childhood sweetheart descended into a nightmare of brutal abuse.

These astonishing stories are told by the women in their own words; and the twists and turns of the painstaking police investigations are recounted by a supporting cast of senior detectives.
