ITV1 is set to air a gripping new true crime series exploring a case packed with secrets, betrayal, and shocking twists: “The Essex Millionaire Murders.” Starting this Monday, the series looks into the events surrounding the deaths of Carol and Stephen Baxter, a wealthy couple discovered in their Essex home on Mersea Island on Easter Sunday last year.
What first seemed like a tragic accident took a much darker turn when toxicology reports showed the Baxters had been poisoned with Fentanyl. That discovery, along with a mysterious will and no signs of a struggle at the scene, led police to suspect murder and focus their investigation on those closest to the couple.
Featuring exclusive interviews with family members and Essex police, the series carefully pieces together a disturbing story involving manipulation, catfishing, coercive control, and even fake medical conditions – revealing the complicated relationships that ultimately ended in murder.
“The Essex Millionaire Murders” premieres Monday, April 28th at 9:00 PM GMT on ITV1.
