On May 12, 2020, during the first Covid lockdown, police were called to a quiet stretch of road in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. Officers had already stopped a car for breaching lockdown rules and issued a fixed penalty notice. But just a short distance away, sitting at the side of the road in the darkness, were two suitcases. Inside were human remains.

At the centre of this story are two women living in a shared house in Lozells, Birmingham - Phoenix Netts and Gareeca Gordon. Phoenix had taken Gordon under her wing, and to the outside world, they were simply friends sharing accommodation during a national crisis. But behind closed doors, tensions were rising, boundaries were being crossed, and one of them was becoming increasingly afraid.
