Our Father Killed Our Mother | Britains Darkest Taboos S6 E6 | True Lives

Britain's Darkest Taboos tells the stories of some of the most shocking and disturbing crimes within families and relationships. Assia Newton is planning a fresh start after ending her violent and abusive marriage to Kelvin Newton. However, on July 14th 2013, Kelvin enters the family home and strangles his wife to death with a dog lead. After fleeing the scene the couple's children were left to find their mother's body. Assia's daughters Sameera and Charmaine reveal how losing their mum has shattered the family into pieces and how, along with Assia's sister Nadia, they are creating a legacy in their mum's name. We reveal the catalogue of offences Kelvin had committed, including threatening police officers with an axe and attempting to set the family home on fire. With expert analysis from former Detective Superintendent David Swindle and psychologist Emma Kenny, we look into the devastating effects domestic homicide has on a family.
