Summary

Have you ever had someone you’ve fallen for so much that you would want to do ANYTHING to impress them, to give them the world? How about, pretending to be something, someone that you aren’t then, where you back up the most lavish of stories with a once in a lifetime event? For one 18 year old Merseyside student back in 2004, she was to get this – though in her worst nightmares she couldn’t have imagined exactly how she was to – and the lengths that her suitor had gone to to give it her.

The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.
