LOVE MURDER

When a newlywed is killed 3 months after their wedding, suspicion turns on the surviving spouse. Was it simply an accident or an act of jealous revenge? If so, was it the spouse or possibly the spouse’s ex?

What first looked like a tragic accident would unravel into a disturbing case involving financial control, multiple alleged murder attempts, an affair hidden in plain sight, and the television appearance that helped bring everything back into the spotlight.

This week Current Affairs covers three cases. A Northern Ireland YouTuber is found guilty of murdering his pregnant girlfriend after staging a six-hour gaming livestream as his alibi — while she watched from home. In California, a 30-year-old father is found dead in his apartment and police arrest his ex-girlfriend and three accomplices across three states in what they're calling a deliberate murder-for-hire. And an update on the Hawaii doctor case: Arielle Konig takes the stand exactly one year after her husband allegedly tried to push her off a cliff.
Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.
