: 12, 2012

In a story that shocked Britain, A&E nurse Jane Clough was murdered by Jonathan Vass in July 2010, her ex-boyfriend and the father of her daughter. He stabbed her repeatedly and slit her throat outside the hospital where she worked. At the time Vass was on bail for repeatedly raping Jane in front of their daughter. Jane predicted her own murder in her diary entries in the weeks leading up to her death. Featuring previously unseen home video footage of Jane and her family, and including extracts from her diary never before published, we uncover a horrific crime. We hear from Jane’s parents, her brother, the A&E nurse who was first on the scene when Jane was murdered, the senior police officer involved in the case and with expert analysis from Forensic psychologist Dr Keri Nixon and psychologist Emma Kenny, we get an insight into the mind of Jonathan Vass, plus we reveal the devastating impact the murder had on Jane’s family.
