Together they made a dashing couple and had all the trappings of wealth: a beautiful home, fancy trips, a Cessna airplane, designer duds and the best that money could buy. But behind closed doors the marriage was threatened by infidelity, financial arguments and one member of the couple’s dark secrets. Sources: 1. Clarkson, Wensley. Deadly Seduction .

Today, we are sharing part one of a two-part series from the award-winning true crime podcast RedHanded, hosted by Suruthi Bala and Hannah Maguire. RedHanded is the UK's #1 True Crime podcast, covering everything from high-profile murders and cults to con artists and cultural catastrophes, always asking not just what happened, but why. In part one, Suruthi and Hannah dive into the case of Kouri Richins, a Utah mother who published a children's book about grief after her husband Eric died in what was ruled an accidental overdose. Just a month after appearing on local TV to promote it, Kouri was arrested and charged with murdering Eric herself. Was she a grieving wife trying to rebuild her family's life, or a Black Widow who plotted to poison her husband for his money? Head over to RedHanded to catch part two, where Hannah and Suruthi pull apart the trial and discuss how Kouri unwittingly destroyed her own defence while trying to outwit the prosecution.

In this episode of Love Murder Current Affairs, in Bellevue, Washington, software engineer Avinash Narne has been charged with murdering his wife, Raajitha Sabbineni, eight months after he reported finding her unresponsive behind a locked bathroom door — an arranged marriage that lasted four months, and phone records that revealed another woman. In Las Vegas, grand jury testimony has laid out new details in the killing of Amanda Frias Rosas and her husband Victor, shot by Amanda's ex-husband at the grocery store where they worked — on their son's twelfth birthday, with custody papers left tucked in her arm. Jessie and Andie trace both cases as they unfolded in the news this week. Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.

On July 15, 1992, 23-year-old Rachel Nickell was murdered on Wimbledon Common in broad daylight, with her two-year-old son as the only witness. With no DNA at the scene, police fixated on the wrong man, building an infamous honey trap operation around a profiler's hunch while the real killer stayed free. It took sixteen years and a DNA breakthrough to finally get justice. This week, Andie covers one of the most notorious investigations in British history.

In August 2006, Bernadette Vander Meer fell 1,200 feet from the summit of Angels Landing in Zion National Park on what was supposed to be her tenth anniversary trip. Authorities called it an accident and closed the case. Twenty years later — after a tip from a former youth group member, a phone call from a pastor who never believed it, and an affidavit laying out an affair, a breakup two days before the trip, and a half-million-dollar insurance payout — her husband was arrested for her murder. Three days later, he was dead. Jessie traces how the case broke open in the news this week.
