REAL

David Fuller looked like a very average man in his sixties. He was married with children, worked in a local hospital and liked birdwatching. But he was harbouring a secret. For over three decades, he had managed to get away with a double murder. Thankfully advancements in DNA testing meant that justice was coming for him and he was arrested in 2020. But during a search of his house, police found a set of hard drives hidden in his study, and what was on those hard drives would change the lives of hundreds of people, as well as reveal David Fuller to be one of the worst human beings in the world.

Eleanor 'Ellie' Williams is on trial and the world is watching. The police now have the chance to convince the world that they are right, that Ellie is not the victim, but the perpetrator.

But the world had seen her horrific injuries, surely she couldn't have done them to herself? Could she....?

In May 2020, 19-year-old Eleanor 'Ellie' Williams uploaded a series' of horrific photos to Facebook, photos that showed a beaten and bleeding Ellie. The caption that went with them detailed serious allegations of abuse, sexual assault and trafficking.

The post went viral and hundreds of thousands of people across the world joined the #justiceforellie movement. Vigilantes targeted the accused abusers and Ellie's hometown of Barrow-In-Furness was soon at the centre of a huge investigation.

But the day after that Facebook post went up, it was Ellie who found herself in a police cell. And what was about to unravel, was almost unreal.

But it wasn't. This is Real.

This is the tragic case of 19-year old Sarah Stern.

Confessions. What every police homicide investigator is after. But how often do they get them? Stats show that only 30% truthfully confess to the police. In today’s episode, we will look at what happens when someone does confesses to murder, not to police officers, but to a friend. Who just so happened to be recording….

This is Real.

'Folie à deux' translates to 'The Madness of Two' and is a term used when two people share the same psychotic episode. And sometimes, these episodes have devastating consequences.

It's a rare syndrome and in today's case, the outcome of twins Sabina and Ursula Eriksson 'folie à deux' would be completely unbelievable, had a TV crew not been present to capture it on film....

Berwyn prison opened in 2017 and was the UK's first male 'Super Jail'. Its approach was simple; make it a home from home, earn the respect of the inmates and hopefully, the rehabilitation rate will be high.

But instead, it's been labelled 'Britains Cushiest Prison', a place where armed robbers, sex offenders and violent criminals are taking drugs, drinking vodka and having sex with the guards who are supposed to be keeping them in order. In fact, 18 female prison guards have been caught having illegal affairs with inmates since they opened...

This Is Real.
