I'm going to watch this, I remember the actual case.
I finished this last night and took away a different conclusion. I was thinking of your post while watching it as we as a family thought they were guilty, Christopher in particular with Susan his accomplice
Isn't that strange, if I was to say anyone was guilty it was Susan, I thought she had real rage issues and he was a bit naive. It would be interesting to watch a documentary on the case. I think her solicitor was played as sympathetic and that probably steered me a little too.
I think Crime & Investigation Channel did a programme about the case, it was really interesting. It is fairly local to me so was interested in the case when it happened
I must see if I can find it, thanks. What was your takeaway and the local perspective, if you don't mind me asking.
There was definitely the financial aspect, by continuing to claim pensions. I know most people blamed the son in law, but I do think the wife was completely complicit with everything that went on. She definitely had anger issues and think she hid behind her husband, hoping for a more lenient punishment
Interesting. Reminds me a little of the Margaret Flemming case were they continued to collect her benefits.
