Rage: The Brutal Murder of Jillian Howell

This week we head to Brighton, and to the mid 2010's, as we take a look at the murder of 46-year-old payroll manager and adored friend and family member, Jillian Howell.

When Jillian took over as the head of the University of Brighton's payroll department in 2015, she was intent on change. The department needed overhauling and she was just the woman to do it.

David Browning, a then 49-year-old payroll administrator in the department, immediately took a disliking to his new boss. In time however, the pair became close, with Jillian supporting David following the sudden death of his father in 2016. But when David misconstrued Jillian's support for something more, a chain of events was set in motion that would end in tragedy.
