Summary
Geoffrey Wansell uncovers the shocking story of Lakhvir Singh, a woman whose passion turned to poison. When her lover began a new relationship, jealousy consumed her. In an act as chilling as it was calculated, she laced his curry with a rare poison — aconite — earning her the nickname “The Curry Killer.” Was this a crime of love, rage, or revenge? Geoffrey discusses the case with Molly to unravel how desire, betrayal, and heartbreak led to one of Britain’s most extraordinary murder cases.
