The Murder of Natalie McNally

About this episode

This episode explores the murder of Natalie McNally, a pregnant woman, and the societal implications of domestic violence against pregnant women.

A study from America has shown that pregnant women are more likely to die by homicide than by obstetric complications, with the majority of perpetrators being the woman's intimate partner. Natalie McNally was a woman in her first trimester when she was found dead by her partner, the baby's father, Stephen. The police suspected him straight away, but he'd been live streaming at the time of her murder.... so who killed Natalie? This is REAL.
