In May of 2019, 42-year-old Julia Rawson left her home for what should have been an ordinary night out. Instead, she crossed paths with two strangers whose fascination with gore, fantasy violence, and dark role-play would spiral into one of the most disturbing murder cases the West Midlands has ever seen.
When Julia went missing, her family hoped she had simply wandered off… but what investigators would soon uncover inside a grim flat in Tipton was something no one could have imagined. From chilling CCTV footage, to dismemberment, to the unsettling psychology behind the killers themselves... this is a case that forces us to ask how ordinary lives collide with unimaginable brutality.
This is the story of Julia Rawson, and the horrifying chain of events that ended her life.
