Episode 10: Janet Müller

The last episode of the series tells the story of Janet Müller, who was a bright and fun-loving 21-year-old German exchange student at Brighton University. In March 2015, Janet was admitted to hospital after being found by the police at a bus stop in her night clothes. With no history of mental illness, Janet was sectioned under the Mental Health Act, unable to discharge herself. Ten days later Janet climbed over a wall to escape from the hospital and was found burnt in the boot of Christopher Jeffrey-Shaw’s car. In court, He told the jury he had been involved with drug dealers who borrowed his hire car for a robbery which went wrong, and then ordered him to set fire to the vehicle. Jeffrey-Shaw was later convicted on manslaughter charges. The inquest was unable to confirm why Janet had ended up in the car but upon sentencing Jeffrey-Shaw, the judge, said: 'The only difference between you and a murderer is an extremely thin line.'
