Episode Details

As always, thank you for hanging out and remembering Kerri Mcauley with me today.

In January 2017, 32-year-old Kerri McAuley, a mother of two, was found beaten to death in her flat in Norwich, England, at the hands of her former partner, Joe Storey. Their relationship had been marked by a long history of violence and abuse and despite warnings, restraining orders, and previous attacks, the danger was never fully addressed.

Storey’s assault was savage and sustained: Kerri suffered 19 separate fractures to her face, and police later found a disturbing image on his phone showing him with her blood smeared on his face after the attack.

At trial, prosecutors described the murder as one of the worst cases of domestic violence to come before the court. In 2017, Joe Storey was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 24 years.
