S11E03 | The Manslaughter of Nicole Lewis (Tuebrook, Merseyside, 2002)

S11E03 | The Manslaughter of Nicole Lewis (Tuebrook, Merseyside, 2002)

In this episode, I tell the story of Nicole Lewis, a 24-year-old mother-of-two murdered in Tuebrook, Merseyside, on March 5, 2002.


Nicole and her fiancée, Mark Wilkinson, separated in February 2002 after a domestic incident the previous month. Mark had violently shaken Nicole so roughly after an argument that she had marks around her neck.


A month after moving out, Nicole was invited to the couple's home after Wilkinson said he had arranged for a relationship counsellor to visit and talk to them about their problems. That was nothing more than a ruse.


After heading upstairs with Wilkinson, Nicole was strangled to death and placed inside a wardrobe in the front bedroom.


Wilkinson was found guilty of manslaughter, rather than murder, in September 2002 and received a four-year jail sentence, of which he served just 33 months.
