I remember this case although I was just a schoolboy, it was featured in the more lurid newspapers mostly. And you are right ,the Mini at that time was a lot smaller vehicle than todays and so the windshield was smaller you would need a hefty hammer blow to damage one.

Never heard of this case before. I wonder what kind of job in a school Kim held after her release. I'm hoping that she worked as a janitor or dinner lady, not as a teacher. It is a bit unsettling that she was sentenced to only 12 years. Karma has a way of catching up anyway.

Wow what a tale. Kim was a piece of work nasty and the husband a man of straw. Rip the wife very sad

[@largedoglover99]

No - I disagree - he blamed the woman for the man's cheating and murdering his wife. I would not say that the 'moral' he is spouting is anything but imaginary. blame the cheater, he was the one who brought kim into their relationship and he was the cause of the entire 'affair'.

[@kl2894]

@@largedoglover99 She didn't have to have an affair with a married man. She had free will. She could have walked away from him at any point. The fact that she didn't means she also deserves some blame for what happened. Under your scenario, she's a mindless puppet solely controlled by men. That's no more realistic than blaming her for everything that happened. All three of them shared the blame, which was obvious from this video.

[@largedoglover99]

@@kl2894 Are you kidding me? Are you a man? You don't believe a person should take responsibility for their OWN actions? Please STOP blaming others when the individual is at fault. PERIOD. Boy oh boy I can't imagine adults and children blame everyone else for their actions, what a nightmare.

[@kl2894]

@@largedoglover99 Yes you should absolutely take responsibility for your own actions, but that goes for everyone in this situation. Every one of these people had the right to say no. Instead, they all went along with it, so they all bear responsibility for their part. That's what taking responsibility for your actions actually means. Not blaming one person and letting everyone else skate. Man or woman you are responsible for your own choices. And clearly you didn't read what I wrote because what you think I said bore no resemblance to what I actually said.

Thank you for a great video - I enjoy these vintage UK cases! I know Peppard quite well. Two smallish, but interesting NT properties nearby: Greys Court and Nuffield Place. I wonder why they hadn't considered the possibility that someone might stop to help at the scene, before they'd staged it - very remiss of them. Luckily they didn't though, and that Constable Sherlock wasn't fooled!

[@lilmissriss93]

Sounds like she had a true love besides her dog, love for the money she could get from men. Seduce a man, manipulate a man, brainwash a man to do evil deeds for money for HER! And in the end, she still couldn’t confess for her horrific part in the murder of an innocent persons. She was probably only sorry the plan didn’t work out and she was imprisoned. P.S. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS❤️ I always look forward to your new stories.

I've been a True Crime fan for 27 years and this first of your videos I viewed convinced me to follow your channel. You're very much like True Crime producers were back in the day: "Just the Facts, and NO Bull Sh!t !!!" True Crime over the years has degenerated into a Soap Opera, replete with the Crying & Blubbering of the Forever Grieving Family left behind. I sympathize with the families of murder victims, but THAT Is Not True Crime. Your style reminds me of Sgt Joe Friday of the 1950's American police show "Dragnet", whose signature utterance was: "Just the facts, ma'am. Just the facts." Carry On !!!
