Melanie and David Clark’s marriage was the definition of toxic. He was controlling and would scream when someone rearranged his colour-coded shirts. She had affairs, and taunted him about the size of his manhood. They seemed unable to tear themselves apart - until one violent incident ended their marriage for good.

Arlene McInnes and Nat Fraser had a whirlwind romance, marrying and having their first child within 18 months of meeting. Arlene was flattered that this ‘local hero’ wanted to be with her… until he revealed himself as a womanising, violent bully. When she rebelled against his control, he hatched a meticulous plot to punish her.
