Joy’s church is described as being a “racist hate group” by a civil rights organisation and we hear how her involvement in the church caused huge friction between Joy and her family.

In this episode, we discover why the Southern Poverty Law Center has put Joy’s church - Israel United in Christ - on a list of “black nationalist hate groups”. We hear how the church teaches its members that white people are the “devil” as well as claims it encourages them to cut themselves off from non-believers - something the church denies. We speak to Joy’s mum at a time when she’s struggling to cope and hear how a series of family tragedies had left Joy feeling vulnerable.

Presented by Cherry Wilson, The Murder of Joy Morgan is a six-part series that follows Joy’s family for 12 months as they try to make sense of what’s happened. And it delves into Joy’s involvement in a controversial church - where she met her killer.

Produced by Cherry Wilson and Duncan Middleton. It is a BBC Newsbeat production for BBC Radio 1
