Episode 5: Escalation

A doting young mother arrives home one morning with her son. Her ex-boyfriend is there, in a rage, waiting.

Presented by actor Amybeth McNulty (Anne with an E, Stranger Things) this eight-part series investigates why women continue to be murdered and what could be done to prevent it.
Professor Jane Monckton Smith guides us through the β€˜homicide timeline’; the pattern of behaviour she has identified in domestic homicides that, if spotted early enough, could help vulnerable and at-risk women keep themselves safe.
From the multi award-winning team behind Assume Nothing: Rape Trial, the series examines eight real-life cases of murder, and asks whether recognising a pattern of behaviour could save lives.
