Today’s true crime case takes us to 9th April 2023, Easter Sunday when a 21 year old woman called Ellie Baxter went to her parents house at 18 Victory Road in the town of West Mersea in the County of Essex in the United Kingdom. She was worried because she had heard from Stephen Baxter or his wife Carol for around 36 hours which was which was very unusual. Ellie was concerned and using a hammer she borrowed from a neighbour she broke in and found her parents dead sitting in their armchairs in the conservatory. Ellie was hysterical and called a family friend, 33 year old Luke D’Wit who lived just minutes away who rushed to the scene. She called 999 but was unable to speak and so D’Wit took over. However, rather than being a caring family friend, Luke D’Wit was a manipulative, cold and calculating killer who had murdered Stephen and Carol. He had been drugging, gaslighting and manipulating the couple for 2 years including creating fake online profiles intending to cut the pair off from their family. Finally, he had administered a fatal dose of Fentanyl to the couple, likely laced in drinks he served them. Police recovered evidenced to indicate that D’Wit had an app on his phone which he had connected to a camera in the house which he used to watch the couple die.
