Swipe Right for Murder S01E03 - Clare Wood

In April 2007, lonely and looking for love, Clare Wood met 40-year-old fairground worker George Appleton online. At first, it seemed to be the perfect relationship but neither her father nor her brother warmed to him. When she discovered that Appleton was having affairs Clare attempted to end the relationship and over the next six months made several complaints to Police about him. On 6th February 2009, her ex-husband discovered her burned body at her home in Salford and a national manhunt began until Appleton, was found hanged in a derelict pub near her home. After Clare's death, it emerged that Appleton had a history of violence towards women, and had several previous convictions for harassment and assault.
