The UK's youngest double murderers, The Twilight Killers
Manage episode 342547927 series 3386867
Cheryl and Nikki Druce are travelling to Spalding in Lincoln to learn about the chilling case of the UK’s youngest double murderers, The Twilight Killers. It’s a quiet Friday morning in April, 2016. A young teenage couple have been spending the last couple of days chilling out in a makeshift den in the downstairs of a suburban two bedroom house. They’ve been drinking, eating junk food and watching The Twilight Saga. Sounds like a classic scene, right? Well, what authorities didn’t know is that all the while, there were the bodies of two innocent people upstairs. Police had two questions on their hands… who killed Liz and Katie Edwards, and why? Expect dramatic teens of whole new proportions, a sweet mother trying to do the best by her daughter, and a very very angry Cheryl.
This episode contains graphic details of violence, including mentions of suicide, and is not intended for all audiences. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
