The British Airways Killer

About the show

The British Airways Killer explores the death of Joanna Simpson, a wealthy heiress who was killed by her husband, a British Airways pilot.

This documentary tracks the case from that first phone call to the tragic discovery of her remains in a shallow grave in Windsor Great Park, to his conviction and the consequences – taking in an acrimonious divorce and the pre-nuptial agreement of a wealthy heiress that was to change British legal history.
