Colin Howell and Hazel Stewart’s forbidden love drove them to commit the near-perfect crime. To onlookers, they were the epitome of respectability – he the successful dentist with a flourishing practice that afforded him a life of luxury; she the glamourous wife of a retired high ranking police officer, regular church goer, pillar of society.

This is the story of how the couple plotted the deaths of their respective partners and how a crisis of conscience finally brought the crime to light. Hosted on Acast.
