Killer Women with Piers Morgan returns to ITV with five more of America's most notorious female murderers. In this second series (5 x 60 min episodes), produced by Plum Pictures, we follow five cases in a quest to discover what drives a woman to kill.
Killer Women with Piers Morgan sees Piers sit down to interview these convicted female murderers in the high security prisons they now call home. Coming face to face with the women behind these unspeakable crimes, Piers delves into each complex case to try and uncover the truth and gain insight into whether justice has been served. He meets the people whose lives have been touched or altered by the crimes hoping to shed light on the truth behind the shocking headlines. Piers speaks to the investigators and lawyers who worked to bring each of the killers to justice and those who believe in their innocence. In moving encounters, he meets family and friends to find out how their lives have been shaken by these shocking crimes.
Over the five episodes, Piers meets a highly-educated, affluent woman who is convicted for the fatal stabbing of her high-flying former-colleague. In this exclusive interview - her first on camera - she still pleads her innocence but Piers uncovers a story of lies, lust, jealousy and obsession. In a bizarre twist, Piers discovers she has yet to start her fifty year sentence for the murder –she is currently serving twenty five years for another vicious stabbing.
Piers also meets a 25 year old who, with a sentence of life without parole is unlikely to ever set foot outside of prison again - even though she did not pull the trigger and wasn't at the scene when the murder happened. Piers also comes face to face with a convicted killer who, as a 20 year old had been married for less than 48 hours when she set out to murder an innocent women she did not even know. Piers investigates whether her actions were those of a cold blooded killer or whether she was really the victim of a manipulative husband.
And in a shocking case, Piers investigates the brutal killing of a teenage boy whose 15 year old former girlfriend is convicted of his murder. This beautiful teenage girl lured her ex-boyfriend into an ambush where he was beaten, shot, his corpse burnt before his remains were thrown into a quarry.
