On 22 January 2006 in Hopkinton Massachusetts, 27 year old Rachel Entwistle and 9 month old Lillian were found dead in the house they shared with husband and father Neil. He was nowhere to be found however.
Having fled back to his homeland of Nottinghamshire in the UK, Neil was arrested and brought back to the US to face trial for the murder of his wife and baby. Facing huge debts, seeking sex online and leading a double life, Neil tried the common trope of the family annihilator to blame his wife for the deaths. Ultimately, he was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for killing his wife and baby.
This is the story of Rachel and Lillian, Lilly, Souza.
