ITV is set to broadcast a devastating documentary tonight as part of its true crime anthology series, focusing on the murder of a mother of three who thought she had found the man of her dreams.
True Crime Presents Returns to ITV
The series True Crime Presents returns to television screens this evening, delving into another deeply disturbing case. The anthology first launched last year, offering viewers an in-depth examination of real-life murder cases and serious crimes. Earlier this year, the programme returned with brand-new episodes in its second series, and another instalment is set to air tonight (Tuesday, May 12) on ITV at 9pm.
The series provides a detailed look at intense police investigations, featuring interviews with victims, witnesses, and law enforcement officers. Described as a collection of true crime documentaries covering a range of real-life offences and notorious offenders, it has been dubbed ideal viewing for fans of the genre. Tonight's episode takes a harrowing turn as it explores a case where a woman's life takes a sinister and tragic path.
Tonight's Episode: A Deadly Betrayal
Titled 'True Crime Presents: A Deadly Betrayal', the official synopsis reads: "A woman believes she has the man of her dreams until signs of abuse emerge, with her family discovering bruises and a dark reality that led to a tragedy."
According to Radio Times, the episode revisits 2014 when single mother Faye Williams from Nottinghamshire believed she had met and married the man of her dreams. However, her family began noticing worrying signs of abuse and control, and a dark truth was soon uncovered. Nottinghamshire Live previously reported that the Bestwood mother died after suffering a stab wound to the chest, an inquest heard.
Viewer Reactions
One true crime viewer took to social media to alert ITV viewers about the harrowing episode, stating: "It's part of the True Crime Presents... There's a new one coming on tonight at 9pm, and from what I've read about it, it's about a woman who gets into a relationship with a man and it becomes abusive."
Following previous episodes, the series has been described as a "brutal watch" with distressing scenes. One viewer previously said on social media: "Absolutely heartbreaking," while another echoed: "Horrendous to watch."

It is not yet known how many episodes will be available in this series, but another instalment is scheduled to air next Tuesday (May 19) at 9pm on ITV, titled 'Murder at the Grand Canal'. Series one focused on cases including serial killer Andrew Dawson and the murder of former EastEnders actress Gemma McCluskie.
