UK Mom Murders Her Kids to Save Them? - The Case of Lianne Smith

In this episode of Love and Murder, we journey through the twisted case of Martin and Lianne Smith, a couple whose life on the run from the law ends in unspeakable tragedy. 

We're whisked away to a quaint English village where the Smith's lives unravel in a saga of betrayal and bloodshed that spans across the UK and into the sun-drenched streets of Spain.

For 18 years, Martin and Leanne Smith harbored secrets dark enough to eclipse the innocence of their nomadic existence. But when Martin's heinous crimes against a child surface, the couple's world implodes, leading to a run from justice that ends in the tragic smothering of their two young children.

The courtroom becomes a battleground of defense pleas for insanity, but the cold, hard verdict speaks volumes of a mother's calculated cruelty. And just when you think the story has revealed all its shadows, a question of paternity casts a new pall over this already dark tale.

This episode is a horrible reminder that love can sometimes be the first step to the most horrific of human behaviors - murder. 

Remember to join the conversation and share your thoughts on this case. 

Poll: Do you think the paternity of the Smith kids should have been brought up in court at all?
