Episode 116 - Terri, John Paul, Lacey and Connie

In September 2021 in Derbyshire, 35 year old Terri Harris was killed by her partner Damien Bendall – she was pregnant at the time. He also killed her two children – 13 year old John Paul and 11 year old Lacey and Lacey’s friend Connie Gent. He also raped Lacey. Bendall pled guilty and received a whole-life sentence. He was on probation at the time of the murders and an independent review found many missed opportunities to properly assess the risk he posed to the family. This is the story of Terri, John Paul, Lacey and Connie.
