Three reasons to watch Joanne Dennehy: Serial Killer
The programme sees Susanna Reid gain access to police evidence from the investigation into Joanne Dennehy.
But why should you sit down and watch this documentary?
1. Joanne holds the title of Britain’s Most Dangerous Woman
It’s easy to be lured into a show that brands a serial killer as one of the most dangerous people in Britain, but that title isn’t exactly far from the truth.
At the time of her trial, Dennehy showed little to no remorse for her actions against the three men she killed during a 10-day spree, going as far as to laugh while the court heard the charges being held against her.
She is only one of three British women ever to be sentenced to spend the rest of her life in prison, which gives a clear insight into how serious the case was being treated.
Her first victim was a local landlord named Kevin Lee, whose body was discovered in a Cambridgeshire ditch.
Lee was found naked from the waist down while his upper body was clothed with a black sequin dress, which Dr Jeremy Cold, an expert of psychopaths, says: “His body was placed in that way to degrade him and get excitement and pleasure from the humiliation of him even after he was dead.”
The bodies of John Chapman and Lukasz Slaboszewski were discovered in a drainage ditch shortly after Joanne had been arrested, but police at the time appeared fearful that they would go on to find more victims as the days progressed.
Fortunately, that wasn’t the case.
2. Her 'charming' manner
The new documentary reveals how Dennehy is still "drawing men in" from her prison cell at HMP Bronzefield in Surrey.
The killer proposed to one fan in 2014 and is writing to other men, the ITV show reveals.
Presenter Susanna Reid said: "It seems Joanne Dennehy may never stop manipulating men.”
In CCTV of her interview Dennehy even "flirts" with police officers.
3. Conversations with those that knew her
Susanna will speak with family members of the victims, school friends, detectives, and the father of Dennehy’s two children, John Treanor while narrowing down what triggered the disturbing murders, to begin with.
Mark Lloyd, a contact of Joanne’s accomplice Gary Stretch, tells how he was picked up in the getaway car.
He revealed: “Joanne's gone right in front of me, pulled the knife out of her bra and said, ‘you know Gary, he’s the taxi driver, he dumps the bodies, I go around killing people.’ I was terrified.
“I had to convince her I was onside. I think she would have killed me without hesitation.”
Treanor, the father of Joanne’s two children, stresses that he doesn’t want their children to have anything to do with Dennehy.
Her actions have lost her the right to have any sort of communication with the kids she left behind following the reckless killings of three innocent people.
Treanor said: "She is not my children’s mother – she gave birth to them, that’s all she is.
“She is the donor, she gave them over, I don’t really want my kids to have anything to do with this woman."
An interesting approach that the documentary takes is by also focusing its attention on the people that knew Joanne from her early years.
Former school friend Marika reveals how Joanne would often encourage her pal to take her life, having complained about the consistent bullying she was facing in school at the time.
“On more than one occasion, she’d be like, ‘You’re better off dead,’ Or, ‘I can help you if you want, and you should just go and kill yourself.’"
