#167 - Janet Overton

“If at first you don’t succeed, try try again”

It shouldn’t apply to marriages but it seems to in this weeks case.

Janet was on her second, her husband Richard Overton was on his third.

They were very unhappy, so unhappy rather than divorce, Richard decides that murdering her is the best option.

Funnily enough, its his second attempt at killing someone.
