Today’s true crime case takes us to just after midnight on Friday March 13 2009 when North East Ambulance Service received a 999 to a report of a man having collapsed at a property at 14 Arthur Street in the town of Chilton in County Durham in the UK. When paramedics attended they found 35 year old Andrew Gardner, a vulnerable man due to underlying cognitive issues, dead in the living room he had been tortured for a number of weeks with his body covered with new and old injuries. 3 People were responsible, 24 year old Simon Clare, 44 year old Steven Martin and the ring leader 28 year old Clare Nicholls a sadistic psychopathic manipulator who not only inflicted horrific injuries on Andrew but did this in front of her young children and even encouraged them to participate. Evil among us is a channel which focuses on horrific serious cases from the UK and abroad with a focus on lesser known cases and serial murderers from around the world.

A woman, after fathering children with the worst man possible, decided to steal her younger sister's mentally deficient lover, take him as her own, and make him into a surrogate father to her kids. This would lead the poor man to one of the worst lives, and worse endings, that one could imagine. Once again, thanks again for the support, everyone.
