Folie a Deux? The callous murder of Sarah Mayhew

Episode 31, and this week we're looking into the callous murder of Sarah Mayhew. This case is a really recent one, with the perpetrators not having been sentenced yet so expect some updates in the future! Listen as Hannah walks us through the details of the case as we understand them, and help us untangle the concept of how in a "killer couple" the woman always seems to be seen as less culpable than the man? The story is nasty so trigger warning, and we're still not too clear on exactly why Sarah had to tragically lose her life!

Plus, you can listen to how unhinged we both become in the run up to Christmas and how we're looking forward to a nice sit down! Reminder, we'll be taking a two week break over the festive period with Season 2 launching in January.
