When Christine Rawle met her husband Ian, he took her and her three children on as his own. He had money, a home and he was infatuated with her - but their relationship was toxic.

Despite this, the couple headed into their retirement, making each others lives miserable. Until a summer's day in August 2022, their relationship finally ended... but the jury had to decide if Ian had been murdered, or had Christine acted in self-defence?

This is REAL.
