In this episode, I tell the story of Claire Morris, a 32-year-old woman killed near Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire, in May 1994.

Claire was killed by her husband, Malcolm Webster, just eight months after they tied the knot. She was unknowingly drugged throughout their marriage, and, at first, it was thought that Claire's death was a tragic car accident.

Webster wasn't brought to justice until 2011 when he was handed a life sentence with a 30-year minimum, but killing Claire wasn't the only thing he was guilty of.

This extremely convoluted story also includes Webster's attempted murder of his second wife, Felicity Drumm, in New Zealand, his fraudulent acquisition of insurance money in the aftermath of Claire's death and another fraudulent scheme involving a third woman, Simone Banarjee.
