Today, we are sharing part one of a two-part series from the award-winning true crime podcast RedHanded, hosted by Suruthi Bala and Hannah Maguire. RedHanded is the UK's #1 True Crime podcast, covering everything from high-profile murders and cults to con artists and cultural catastrophes, always asking not just what happened, but why.In part one, Suruthi and Hannah dive into the case of Kouri Richins, a Utah mother who published a children's book about grief after her husband Eric died in what was ruled an accidental overdose. Just a month after appearing on local TV to promote it, Kouri was arrested and charged with murdering Eric herself. Was she a grieving wife trying to rebuild her family's life, or a Black Widow who plotted to poison her husband for his money?

In this episode of Love Murder Current Affairs, in Bellevue, Washington, software engineer Avinash Narne has been charged with murdering his wife, Raajitha Sabbineni, eight months after he reported finding her unresponsive behind a locked bathroom door — an arranged marriage that lasted four months, and phone records that revealed another woman.

On July 15, 1992, 23-year-old Rachel Nickell was murdered on Wimbledon Common in broad daylight, with her two-year-old son as the only witness. With no DNA at the scene, police fixated on the wrong man, building an infamous honey trap operation around a profiler's hunch while the real killer stayed free. It took sixteen years and a DNA breakthrough to finally get justice. This week, Andie covers one of the most notorious investigations in British history.Sources:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7783796.stmhttps://policeprofessional.com/news/mps-apology-for-‘errors’-in-rachel-nickell-murder-case/https://policeprofessional.com/news/‘gross-errors-of-judgement’/https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/crime-files/rachel-nickell-casehttps://www.aetv.com/articles/rachel-nickell-murder-1992https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/rachel-nickell-murder-case-justice-delayed-1800876https://www.tvguide.co.uk/articles/colin-stagg-life-after-rachel-nickell-honeytrap-scandal/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Rachel_Nickellhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Napperhttps://time.com/article/2026/06/01/rachel-nickell-true-story-the-witness-netflix/This Week’s Episode Brought To You By:Shopify - $1 per month trial - http://shopify.com/lovemurderHers - Personalized, affordable plans for weight loss, hair, and anxiety - forhers.com/LOVEMURDERIndaCloud - If you’re 21 or older, get 25% OFF your first order + free shipping with code lovemurder at https://inda.shop/lovemurderQuince - Elevated essentials that feel effortless.

In August 2006, Bernadette Vander Meer fell 1,200 feet from the summit of Angels Landing in Zion National Park on what was supposed to be her tenth anniversary trip. Authorities called it an accident and closed the case. Twenty years later — after a tip from a former youth group member, a phone call from a pastor who never believed it, and an affidavit laying out an affair, a breakup two days before the trip, and a half-million-dollar insurance payout — her husband was arrested for her murder. Three days later, he was dead.

Two women, decades apart in age, whose relationships turned deadly within days of each other. In Berkeley, thirty-seven-year-old Vanessa Sanchez was fighting Stage 4 breast cancer when the man police called her boyfriend walked into her apartment — and days later walked out with a roller suitcase. In southeastern Kentucky, eighteen-year-old Jadeance Hale spent her final hours trying to leave her boyfriend, with her best friend Lila Asher beside her, when a 911 call and a high-speed pursuit ended in tragedy. Jessie and Andie trace both cases as they unfolded in the news this week.Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.Sources: https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2026/06/04/crime/berkeley-murder-victim-found-suitcase/https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/berkeley-homicide-suitcase/4095222/https://lawandcrime.com/crime/trying-to-leave-him-all-day-woman-who-brought-friend-to-help-her-break-up-with-boyfriend-is-killed-before-man-turns-gun-on-himself-cops-say/https://www.wkyt.com/2026/06/08/dispatch-audio-reveals-more-about-chase-that-led-double-murder-suicide/https://www.lex18.com/news/covering-kentucky/coroner-21-year-old-laurel-county-man-shoots-and-kills-2-teens-before-committing-suicidehttps://fox56news.com/news/kentucky/911-calls-reveal-concerns-before-deadly-knox-to-laurel-county-chase-ends-in-murder-suicide/Find LOVE MURDER online:Website: lovemurder.loveInstagram: @lovemurderpodTwitter: @lovemurderpodFacebook: LoveMrdrPodTikTok: @LoveMurderPodPatreon: /LoveMurderPodCredits: Love Murder is hosted by Jessie Pray and Andie Cassette, researched by Sarah Lynn Robinson and researched and written by Jessie Pray, produced by Nathaniel Whittemore and edited by Kyle Barbour-Hoffman See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sophie Toscan du Plantier was a 39-year-old French producer, wife, and mother who traveled alone to her remote cottage in West Cork just before Christmas 1996. Two days later, she was found dead outside her gate, beaten beyond recognition, in a case that drew in Irish folklore, French cinema, a troubled local journalist, years of failed prosecutions, and a family’s long fight for justice across two countries.Sources:https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/from-paris-to-west-cork-and-back-the-story-of-the-sophie-toscan-du-plantier-murder-investigation-1.3910782https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/the-story-of-the-sophie-toscan-du-plantier-murder-investigation-a-chronology-1.2158891https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/a-23-year-investigation-what-next-for-the-sophie-toscan-du-plantier-murder-case-1.4123633https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/2024/01/22/garda-cold-case-review-of-film-producers-murder-to-continue-despite-ian-baileys-death/https://www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/2025/08/15/sophie-toscan-du-plantier-gardai-awaiting-results-of-tests-using-advanced-dna-collection-method/https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/may/31/briton-convicted-of-murder-french-film-maker-ian-bailey-sophie-toscan-du-plantierhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/23/well-never-have-the-truth-death-of-suspect-ian-bailey-floors-family-of-french-film-makerhttps://www.lemonde.fr/en/police-and-justice/article/2024/01/21/ian-bailey-man-convicted-in-france-for-murder-dies-in-ireland_6453379_105.htmlhttps://shows.acast.com/westcork/abouthttps://www.netflix.com/title/81094755This Week’s Episode Brought To You By:Progressive Insurance - Discover better rates at https://www.progressive.com/ ****Shopify - $1 per month trial - http://shopify.com/lovemurderWarby Parker - Our listeners can buy one prescription pair and get 20% off additional pairs at WarbyParker.com/lovemurderHers - Personalized, affordable plans for weight loss, hair, and anxiety - forhers.com/LOVEMURDER See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Three of our past subjects died this spring. Betty Broderick, who served 35 years for the 1989 La Jolla murders of her ex-husband Dan and his new wife Linda. Raynella Dossett Leath, the Tennessee nurse twice tried in the deaths of her district attorney husband and her second husband, and ultimately cleared. And Claudine Longet, the French-born singer whose 1976 shooting of Olympic skier Spider Sabich in Aspen ended in a thirty-day sentence served largely on weekends.

When a joyful young Filipino mother searching for a better life in America is killed during a South Dakota pheasant hunt, her fiancé insists it was a tragic accident.

This update examines the rapidly evolving case surrounding the murders of Monique and Spencer Tepi following the arrest of Michael David McKee. Prosecutors have upgraded the charges to premeditated aggravated murder as family members describe years of emotional abuse and repeated threats that allegedly continued long after the couple’s divorce. The episode reviews the surveillance trail, ballistic evidence, McKee’s arrest in Illinois, and the professional and legal issues that surfaced in the months before the killings. As authorities prepare to transfer McKee to Ohio to face charges that carry the possibility of life without parole or the death penalty, key questions about motive, access, and long-term planning remain unanswered.

In a stunning legal maneuver, Brian Walshe’s defense has admitted he dismembered his missing wife, Ana, but insists he did not kill her. They argue Walshe panicked after finding her unresponsive from natural causes, fearing his prior federal fraud conviction would immediately implicate him. While prosecutors cite a $2.7 million insurance motive and chilling Google searches on body disposal as proof of intent, the defense claims these were the frantic actions of a desperate man. With no body recovered, the jury must decide: was this calculated murder or a "catastrophic" cover-up?Sources:https://apnews.com/article/brian-walshe-trial-wife-3d290aed2d1a0f1999b7f52601f30bf3https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/12/03/brian-walshe-ana-internet-history-murder-charges-trial/https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/brian-walshe-trial-live-stream-jury-selection/https://www.biography.com/crime/a69594031/brian-walshe-murder-trial-ana-walshehttps://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/watch-live-brian-walshe-trial-testimony-day-2/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
