REAL Naomi Channell

Sticks and stones may break bones, but words can be deadly.

In this new internet age, 'keyboard warriors' are nothing new. The ability to say whatever you want and hide behind a computer screen is too tempting for some. 

In todays case, we'll examine three very different cases of trolling, all that had devestating consequences. 

This is Real.

Kieren Lynch masqueraded himself as a loving husband and doting father. But whilst that was once true, over time his behaviour started to change. When his wife left him to try to give her and her daughters a happier life, Kieren started a campaign of terror against her and even his children.

But his campaign ended in one of the most horrific acts of revenge imaginable, whilst his wife remained on the phone to 999, asking for the police, who had had many chances to stop this from happening. But they didn't.

This is Real.

In January 2003, 22-year-old Kim Banyard should have been enjoying the happiest moments of her life. She'd just given birth to her first child and she'd seen friends to celebrate her birthday. 

But when she arrived home on the night of her birthday, she had no idea that it would be her last. And what happened next, was the most incredible case of 'right place, right time' for two patrolling police officers.

Keep your friends close and your enimies closer. It's a saying we hear often, but what if our enimies are disguised as our friends?

In April 2023, Carol and Stephan Baxter were found dead in their armchairs. But when the police realised their deaths were not from natural causes and their investigation led them to a seriously dark and depraved act of betrayal but someone they loved.

In 2011, a mysterious double tragedy happened in a mansion in California. 2 people were dead, both under suspicious circumstances. 

2 families were left torn apart and with questions. Was 6-year-old Max Shacknai's death an accident? And did 29-year-old Rebecca Zahau take her own life.... or did someone else?

This is Real.
