Liam Smith was 38, a father of two, living a quiet life in Wigan, England.
When he stepped outside his front door on a cold November evening and never made it back inside, nothing about it made sense.
What followed revealed a brief connection that traced back years, to a single date that should have meant nothing. But somewhere along the line, the story changed. And so did the person telling it.
As the investigation unfolded, a plan that had been building quietly was exposed. A version of events that became justification for murder. And a decision that would end in violence on a quiet residential street.
This is a UK true crime case about control, belief, and what happens when two people convince themselves they’re entitled to act as judge, jury and executioner.
