#7 - Zoe and Joan Lee In January of 2018, Englishwoman Lisa
Hall, aged 44, accompanied her daughter, Holly, during a night out in Bognor Regis, West Sussex.
At about 11:30 pm, the mother-of-three reportedly decided that she was too tired to continue the
evening’s activities and called her husband to come pick her and 23-year-old Holly up.
While the Halls were awaiting their ride home, a young woman, later named as Zoe Lee,
approached the pair and aggressively insulted Lisa in a seemingly random verbal assault. Lee
then proceeded to unleash a brutal physical attack on the woman, in the perpetration of which she
was aided by her own mother, Joan. It was later reported that Lisa blacked out after she’d been
punched to the ground, kicked, and stomped on by the hostile mother and daughter. When she came to,
Holly was standing over her with tears in her eyes. Her husband, who by then had arrived at
the scene, insisted that she go to the hospital. The vicious attack left Lisa with a shattered
ankle that required intensive surgery to repair. Investigators ultimately concluded that Zoe and
Joan Lee had targeted the victim because they were envious of her physical appearance. They were
both charged with causing grievous bodily harm, and consequently imprisoned for 5 years each.
#6 - Charles Jessop
After ending her relationship with Charles Jessop in 2019, Clare Nash began receiving
an incessant stream of texts and phone calls from the man, who went as far as to claim he
was going to take his own life if they didn’t get back together. Jessop sent the 33-year-old
woman 95 messages on Christmas Day 2019, and an additional 174 over the next several days.
It was reported that Nash had contacted the police about her ex-boyfriend’s harassment on 3 separate
occasions, within a 6-week period, but she chose not to make an official complaint against him. On
the morning of January the 16th of 2020, a local law enforcement officer reportedly determined that
Nash was at “medium risk” of being the victim of a domestic violence incident. That same day, Jessop
went to the woman’s home in Suffolk, England, where, with a kitchen knife in hand, he waited
for her to arrive. Later that evening, Nash’s new boyfriend was alarmed by the sound of screaming on
their front doorstep, allegedly hearing Jessop say, “I said I was going to do this to you”.
He then dialed 999 as an altercation between Jessop and Nash had spilled into the house.
Paramedics rushed to the scene, but they were ultimately unable to stop Nash from succumbing to
the multiple stab wounds she’d sustained. Jessop reportedly told officers “I have won”
several times as they were arresting him, with the attack believed to have been related to him
growing envious that Nash had moved on since their breakup. Following his criminal trial, he was
sentenced to a minimum prison term of 30 years. #5 - Cordelia Farrell
On October the 14th of 2019, Wayne Coventry was found dead at his brother’s house in Bromsgrove,
Worcestershire, England. The 36-year-old had reportedly gotten into a heated argument with his
girlfriend, Cordelia Farrell, which had escalated into a physical altercation. The row culminated
with the latter fatally stabbing Coventry with a kitchen knife. Speaking to the authorities after
the deadly incident, Coventry’s mother described her son’s relationship with Farrell as “toxic”,
also claiming that it was “characterized by violence and jealousy”. The mistrustful and
envious attitude with which Farrell allegedly approached her relationship with Coventry had
previously given rise to other violent outbursts. One such instance had occurred only weeks prior
to Coventry’s death, when Farrell bit the man in his groin region during an argument. Subsequent
reports detailed how, on the night of Coventry’s killing, Farrell plunged the knife directly into
his chest and pierced his aorta, which caused him to bleed out within minutes. Following the attack,
38-year-old Farrell fled the scene, and she remained on the run until turning herself in to
the authorities 5 days later. Although she would be ultimately cleared of the charge of murder,
Farrell was convicted of manslaughter after being tried at Worcestor Crown Court, and she was
consequently sentenced to 10 years in prison. #4 - Dominic Barrigan
Englishman Dominic Barrigan’s relationship with his girlfriend began to erode in the summer of
2017 as, according to court documents, he had begun to exhibit bizarre behavior that
severely unnerved his partner. On one occasion, Barrigan had allegedly made her stand up so he
could cover her body in plastic wrap, in spite of the woman’s repeated protests. The 25-year-old,
who described himself as a devout Christian, was reported to have simply laughed at her discomfort
and thrown her onto the bed. After she’d continued to express her discomfort with the situation,
Barrigan begrudgingly gave up on his advances. At a later time, when she conveyed the fact that
she was still upset from the incident, the two reportedly got into an extremely animated argument
that culminated with Barrigan strangling the woman while lying on top of her. The altercation left
her with bruises and scratches on her neck, after which she broke up with Barrigan and
began temporarily living with her mother. While she was away from her home, in July of 2017,
Barrigan reportedly broke into her residence and found an open box of condoms on her bedside table.
Jealous and enraged, he then ransacked his ex-girlfriend’s house before
setting it on fire. The following day, Barrigan turned himself in to the police and he was charged
with assault and arson. He was consequently sentenced to 3 years in prison, and he was also
issued a restraining order that barred him from making any form of contact with his ex-girlfriend.
#3 - Mary Konye
Naomi Oni, a Victoria’s Secret shop assistant from London, England, was attacked by a woman wearing
an Islamic niqab, after leaving work on the night of December the 30th of 2012. As was captured on
CCTV footage, the female assailant had followed the 22-year-old out of the Westfield shopping
center in Stratford and proceeded to tail her all the way home. When Oni approached her residence,
the woman emerged from the shadows and threw acid all over the victim’s body,
inflicting horrific burns to her face, leg, chest, stomach and arms. Oni’s extensive
injuries, one of which included being left nearly blind in one eye, ultimately required
2 facial reconstruction surgeries to mend. Following an investigation into the matter,
local authorities identified 22-year-old Mary Konye as the perpetrator of the acid attack. The
young woman had been close friends with Oni since childhood, but they’d reportedly had a falling
out a short time prior to the incident. Court documents detailed how Konye had grown envious
of her friend’s complexion and appearance. She also alleged that the victim had called her “ugly”
during a previous interaction, and she’d thus premeditated the attack as a cruel from of
retaliation. The revelation of Konye’s involvement in her friend’s disfigurement proved surprising
to many, including Oni herself, who’d unknowingly gone to her attacker to commiserate with her
in the incident’s wake. Konye was ultimately jailed for 12 years following a criminal
trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court in London. Today's topic was requested by Romella Karmey.

Chelsey Morris, of Cheshire, England, was in a tumultuous relationship with Ryan Abbot
for three-and-a-half years. Throughout that period in time, which Morris herself described
as “rocky”, 28-year-old Abbot would allegedly get angry and jealous whenever his girlfriend,
who was seven years his junior, went places where there might be
other men present. As a consequence of Abbot’s extremely controlling behavior,
the young woman had lost touch with many of her friends during the course of their relationship.
In March of 2019, Morris got a job at a local store, which reportedly bothered her boyfriend,
as she would be required to interact with a large number of people. The young woman decided to move
back in with her parents to get away from her abusive partner. However, during a celebratory
dinner with loved ones, Morris was confronted by Abbot, and she misguidedly agreed to accompany him
back to his apartment. It was there that Abbot allegedly flew into a drug-fueled rage
and began berating Morris about interacting with other men. He briefly withdrew to his
kitchen before emerging with a machete that he then used to stab Morris in the back and slice
her right ring finger. Abbot subsequently fled the scene and continued his violent outburst
in the surrounding neighborhood, jumping on cars, emptying trash bins, and smashing the
glass windows of adjacent houses. For his various offenses, Abbot was later jailed for 4 years,
and was also given a 5-year restraining order, barring him from contacting his ex-girlfriend,
upon his release. While Morris survived the attack, she was reportedly left so emotionally
affected by the incident that she refused to leave her house for a long time afterwards. It was also
reported that she faced the risk of not being able to properly use her injured finger again.
#1 - Brandon Clark
An Instagram influencer from Utica, New York, was brutally murdered by her romantic partner,
on July the 14th of 2019. As was detailed in a police report created in connection to the
incident, the victim, Bianca Devins, had gone to a concert in New York City with her boyfriend,
Brandon Clark. Accompanying them was another male friend of the influencer’s,
who was only identified by his first name as Alex. Following the musical performance,
Devins and Clark returned to Utica, where they reportedly got into a contentious argument. The
latter confronted Devins and, in a jealous rage, alleged that he’d seen her kissing Alex at the
concert. The situation soon escalated, and the 22-year-old man assaulted Devins before he pulled
a large knife out from under his car seat and slit her throat. Following the attack, Clark called
several of his family members, who contacted 9-1-1 in fear of what the man might do to himself or
others. Clark then posted pictures of Devins’ dead body to social media. Although Instagram
ultimately removed the photos from their platform, they faced criticism for waiting nearly a day
after they’d been uploaded to take them down. As law enforcement officers arrived at the scene of
the murder, Clark sliced his neck in a failed attempt to take his own life. He was taken into
custody and charged with second-degree murder. In February of 2020, Clark entered a guilty plea
and, in March the following year, he was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
