S10E04 | The Murder of Jane Longhurst | Villain: Graham Coutts

In this episode, I discuss the story of Jane Longhurst, a 31-year-old music teacher murdered by her best friend's partner.


This chilling story of obsession, murder and justice began on March 14, 2003, when Graham Coutts killed Jane in his Hove flat.


Coutts had been obsessed with physically harming women during sex since the age of 15 and fantasised about murdering someone in such a manner.


He was initially handed a life sentence in February 2004 at Lewes Crown Court, but his charge was later quashed.


A re-trial in 2007 ended with the same outcome, with Coutts being handed a life sentence at the Old Bailey that July with a minimum term of 26 years.
