Episode 41 - Bethany Vincent and Darren Henson
Send us a textIn May 2021 Bethany Vincent and her 9-year-old son Darren Henson were stabbed and killed by her ex-partner Daniel Boulton. A serial perpetrator of domestic abuse and coercive control Boulton had two restraining orders against him when he walked 28 miles to kill Bethany and her son. A review into the murders concluded that the risk he posed was underestimated by professionals and I believe that better understanding of coercive control could have prevented the murders. This is the story of Bethany Vincent and Darren Henson. Information and support ·       Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans ·       National Domestic Violence Helpline UK 0808 2000 247 ·       Women’s Aid www.womensaid.org.uk  ·       Mental health support USA I'm looking for mental health help for myself | Mental Health America (mhanational.org) ·       Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) References Clare Laxton is fundraising for Women's Aid Federation Of England (justgiving.com)Bethany and Darren overview report (lincolnshire.gov.uk)Bethany Vincent: How mum tried to escape her murdering ex - BBC NewsBethany Vincent and Darren Henson murders: 'Missed opportunities' to stop violent killer - BBC NewsReview finds failings of agencies before murder of mum and son in Louth - Grimsby Live (grimsbytelegraph.co.uk)Daniel Boulton: Dramatic moment child killer who murdered ex and her autistic son cornered by police | The IndependentFamily speak of 'unbearable loss' after murders of daughter and grandson | ITV News CalendarBe their Voice | FacebookPC relives moment he was stabbed as he fought double killer Daniel Boulton in Louth | ITV News CalendarCold Case Western AustraliaThey're the crimes that continue to haunt grieving family members and the wider...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showKiller in the family podcast is a total labour of love.

Episode 32 - Christine and Shania Chambers
Send us a textThe tragic story of Christine Chambers and her daughter Shania is one that exemplifies the darkest corners of domestic abuse and the heartbreaking failures of the systems meant to protect. As we discuss the chilling history of violence that culminated in their deaths, we also reflect on the resilience and enduring spirit of Christine's other daughter, Chelsea, and her two older sons. In June 2011 just hours before they were due at a custody hearing Christine Chambers and her two year old daughter Shania were killed by her ex-partner David Oakes. Her other daughter managed to escape and raise the alarm. David was a man with a violent history who breached non-molestation orders many times since Christine had broken up with him – he wasn’t sanctioned at all and instead was free to kill Christine, Shania and try and kill Chelsea. There was more the police and other services could and should have done.  This is the story of Christine and Shania Chambers.  Information and support ·       Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans ·       National Domestic Violence Helpline UK 0808 2000 247 ·       Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA ·       Women’s Aid www.womensaid.org.uk  ·       Mental health support USA I'm looking for mental health help for myself | Mental Health America (mhanational.org) ·       Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) References 'As I ran for help, I knew evil stepdad would kill my mum and baby sister' - Mirror OnlineDavid Oakes jailed for ex-partner and daughter murders - BBC NewsDavid Oakes: Double murderer had 'violent reputation' - BBC NewsEmma Kenny True Crime https://youtu.be/Gyq9bpXYgMs?si=nakiQ0dOagFVMPORIPCC report braintreeandwithamtimes.co.uk/resources/files/23911/david-oakes-sentencing-remarks-11052012.pdf (judiciary.uk)labyrinth-domestic-abuse-injunctions-final-1.pdf (rightsofwomen.org.uk)Cold Case Western AustraliaThey're the crimes that continue to haunt grieving family members and the wider...Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showKiller in the family podcast is a total labour of love.

Episode 30 - The Hawe Family
Send us a textIn August 2016 Clodagh Hawe and her sons Liam, Niall and Ryan were murdered by the one person who should have protected them the most – husband and father Alan Hawe. The case has been hugely criticised for the way the media excused what Hawe did and ignored Clodagh and her sons and gave way to the #HerNameWasClodagh trending on social media in an effort to refocus attention on what was important here – the murder of a wife and three children. This is the story of Clodagh Hawe and her sons Liam, Niall and Ryan. Information and support ·       Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans ·       National Domestic Violence Helpline UK 0808 2000 247 ·       Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA ·       Women’s Aid www.womensaid.org.uk  ·       Mental health support USA I'm looking for mental health help for myself | Mental Health America (mhanational.org) ·       Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org)  References He Had His Reasons | Colin Barrett | Granta MagazineFull transcript of Clodagh Hawe family's harrowing interview with RTÉ's Claire Byrne | Irish Independent'He was quiet and a real gentleman' - Small community left reeling from Cavan tragedy | Irish IndependentIrish man who killed wife and three sons left two notes at scene of murder-suicide | IrishCentral.comHawe family murders - WikipediaHawe family murder inquest: Alan Hawe stabbed sons through the windpipe so they could not scream - Irish Mirror OnlineHawe confession letter reveals he "enjoyed" murdering family | IrishCentral.comRest in peace, invisible woman - LINNEA DUNNEReporting of man who killed his family too sympathetic, say women's groups | Ireland | The Guardian Domestic homicide study recommends new agency, database (rte.ie)Credits Hosted and created by Clare Laxton @ladylaxton Produced by: Clare Laxton  Killer in the family podcast (buzzsprout.com)Music by Tom Box and from Pixabay. Support the showKiller in the family podcast is a total labour of love.
