Violence, Drugs and Prostitution: The Murder of Kirsty Grabham

In April 2009, Kirsty Grabham was murdered by her husband Paul Grabham. Her battered body was found in a tiny suitcase after it was thrown from the M4. There was a huge murder investigation in Swansea which made headline news when it was revealed that Kirsty and her husband both worked as escorts. We reveal the truth about their marriage within the sex industry and the horrific murder, plus how Grabham tried to get away with the killing. We interview Kirsty's mother, Cathy Broomfield, and her sister Sonya, and we reveal the other side to the Kirsty they knew, not the working girl reported in the media. With exclusive access to never seen before home footage from their wedding and Kirsty’s childhood, plus extracts from her diaries where she talks directly to her killer, asking him why he wants her to sleep with other people for money. We uncover a tragic story which culminated in a horrific murder.
