Kelly*, this chilling new true crime documentary series from Viaplay charts the course of crimes from romance to ruin, where passion turns toxic, and love stories take a sinister turn. In ***Murdering Love***, four heartbreaking real-life stories reveal how seemingly perfect romances spiral into obsession, betrayal and murder. From the sweeping forests of Härjedalen and the quiet towns of Värmland, to Skåne’s windswept coast and the idyllic Åland Islands – each case exposes how devotion can change to devastation. Through candid interviews, detailed police files and shocking reconstructions, the series retraces each journey from falling in love, to its fatal fallout. Investigators, witnesses and surviving family members uncover red flags, hidden motives and chilling evidence that finally brings these killers to justice. In collaboration with investigative journalist **John Mork** *(Under the Radar, The Bunker)***, *Murdering Love*** is a sobering exploration of when the heart’s deepest desires turn deadly. (4 x 42 mins episodes, Swedish with English subtitles) \| \| \|---\| |
