About this episode

In August 2008, British millionaire Christopher Foster murdered his wife Jill and his daughter Kirstie before ending his life inside the family home. Christopher Foster was in extreme debt and on the brink of financial ruin. A week before his death, he received a letter notifying him that bailiffs would seize his house. 

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the murders committed by Christopher Foster. Foster was a self-made multi-millionaire who invented a chemical formula used on oil rigs. But, he spent much more than he earned and soon found himself in debt. How could a man make the decision to murder his wife and daughter? Was it his ego that would not allow him to be viewed as a failure?
