On 5 May 2009 31 year old Sheri Coleman and her two sons 11 year old Garret and 9 year old Gavin were found murdered in the home they shared with husband and father Chris Coleman. On his return from the gym that day Coleman became a prime suspect in their murders and the police found a complex web of lies that he had created to hide the affair he was having. Exactly two years after the murders on 5 May 2011 Coleman was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murders of his wife and two sons. 

This is the story of Sheri, Garret and Gavin Coleman.
