Episode 98 - Sally Challen: A Case of Coercive Control

About this episode

<p>One Saturday morning in November 2010 Sally Challen walked into the kitchen and hit her husband Richard in the head with a hammer. She hit him over 20 times. In the trial that followed Sally was painted as a possessive, jealous woman who murdered her husband in cold-blood. This year, in 2019, Sally won a land mark appeal to have her conviction overturned as a fresh defence was shaped around her mental state owing to the years of emotional and psychological abuse she had suffered at the hands of her husband. </p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/article/she-killed-her-husband-but-sally-challen-might-be-the-real-victim">https://www.crimeandinvestigation.co.uk/article/she-killed-her-husband-but-sally-challen-might-be-the-real-victim</a></p><p><a href="https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/sep/29/devoted-wife-who-killed-husband-with-hammer-sally-challen">https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/sep/29/devoted-wife-who-killed-husband-with-hammer-sally-challen</a></p><p><a href="https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/sally-challen-appeal-husband-killed-david-court-a8799681.html%3famp">https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/sally-challen-appeal-husband-killed-david-court-a8799681.html%3famp</a></p>  <br><p>See <a href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
