'I was framed for murdering my parents': The true story behind the Essex Millionaires Poisoning
In April 2023, Ellie Baxter discovered both her parents dead in their conservatory armchairs, and then found herself in a police interview room, questioned as a suspect... Ellie had been framed.
'Essex Millionaires Murder', a two-part ITV documentary, tells the true story of Carol and Stephen Baxter, who were poisoned with fentanyl by one of the most dangerous men Essex Police say they've ever come across.
Family friend and employee of the Baxters, Luke D'Wit set up a hidden camera and watched his victims die, framing their daughter Ellie. In March 2024, D'Wit was sentenced to 37 years behind bars and only now can Ellie tell her story alongside Senior Investigating Officer, DI Lydia George on the sofa.
