April 2018, a small village in mid-Wales, home to Hollie Kerrell. Originally from Devon, Hollie moved to the village of Knucklas with husband Christopher, whose family owned a nearby farm. But on Sunday, April 22nd 2018 all of Hollie’s social media accounts suddenly went quiet. Faking It: Tears of a Crime s6e2: Christopher Kerrell
The first person they spoke to her husband Christopher. ibid.
He was extremely possessive. He monitored where she went. She wasn’t allowed to go very far, she said. And also he was on occasions violent. He was incredibly manipulative, so when he couldn’t control Hollie through threats or violence, he would threaten to harm himself, or he would threaten to take his own life. So emotional blackmail often in front of the children. This is textbook, textbook abusive behaviour. ibid. Kerry
Officers soon heard worrying stories from neighbours. ibid.
After striking Hollie on the back of the head, he strangled her. ibid.
* Cliff: Micro headshake no
* Dawn: You hear in his voice laughter & evasion & avoids her name & repetition
