• The Murder of Jade Ward

  In 2021, Jade Ward finally broke up with the father of her 4 children, after years of enduring his controlling behaviour. He'd even booked them a secret wedding, in an attempt to 'keep her'. But Russell decided that if he couldn't have her, nobody else could either. Jade was murdered and her children were devestated at the loss of their caring and devoted mother, but from his prison cell, Russell was still controlling the children, because HE had parental rights. Until Jade's family decided enough was enough... and changed the law. This is REAL.
