Episode 590: Jonathan Creswell and the suspicious death of Katie Simpson

Journalist Tanya Fowles was so concerned when she heard that showjumper Katie Simpson had been taken to hospital after an apparent suicide attempt by the known domestic abuser Jonathan Creswell that she repeatedly phoned police to inform them of her concerns that there was more to the story than met the eye.


Tanya, an award winning court reporter based in Northern Ireland, couldn’t believe that Creswell’s account of finding Katie and trying to help her had formed the decision to shut down any investigation into her death.


She was also flabbergasted when he played the role of chief mourner at her funeral and later showed support for suicide charities.


It took almost five months for a new PSNI investigation team to be put in place who quickly discovered that Tanya was right to be suspicious that the 21 year old had been murdered by evil Creswell who would later be charged with the crime.


Nicola talks to Tanya about Creswell, his own suicide as his murder trial got underway and an extraordinary story of sex, jealousy and coercive control which remained hidden for years.
