S17E04 | Nikkita Grender-Brunnock, Kelsey-May and Missy (Newport, South Wales, 2011)
In 2011, 19-year-old Nikkita Grender was just weeks away from becoming a mother when her life was cut short in the most horrifying way. A fire tore through her Newport flat in the early hours of February 5, and as the smoke cleared, a darker truth emerged - one that pointed to someone close to home.
What seemed like a tragic accident was something far more sinister, leaving a community in shock and a family searching for justice.
This story is genuinely one of the most heartbreaking and disturbing I’ve ever researched in my four-plus years as a true crime podcaster. My sincerest condolences go to Paul, Marcia, and Luke.
For a deeper understanding of this tragic case, I highly recommend you read Nikitta: A Mother’s Story by Marcia Grender, released in February 2016. You can also watch episode 3 of season 2 of Britain’s Darkest Taboos, which aired on October 23, 2013.
