S16E07 | Nicole Waterhouse (York, North Yorkshire, 2013)

When Nicole Waterhouse and Karen Browne attended a dating event in York, they couldn’t have known that one of the men they met would soon change their lives forever.

Jeremy Green, an ex-Army officer with a dishonorable discharge, went on a couple of dates with Karen before reappearing unexpectedly at the two women’s flat in October 2013 under a seemingly innocent pretense. His true intentions, however, were anything but harmless.

What followed was a brutal and prolonged assault that left Nicole dead and Karen forever scarred, both physically and emotionally. This harrowing case serves as a chilling reminder that the capacity for violence can be hidden beneath a seemingly innocent façade.
