Shaye Groves killed Frankie Fitzgerald
In July 2022, Shaye Groves killed Frankie Fitzgerald by slitting his throat and then stabbing him 17 times in the chest at her residence in Havant, Hampshire. The 27-year-old used material from documentary films about true crimes to plan her alibi and was convicted of murder after a trial. At Winchester Crown Court, she was sentenced to a minimum of 23 years in prison.
It was revealed during her trial that the two had a shared interest in BDSM, and a camera was placed in Groves’ bedroom to film their sexual activity. Police discovered books about criminals, which include renowned prisoner Charles Bronson, as well as framed images of infamous murderers like Myra Hindley as well as Peter Sutcliffe on her walls.
Shaye Groves Murdered Frankie Fitzgerald With A Celtic dagger
She stored a Celtic dagger that was used to kill Mr. Fitzgerald nearby or under her pillow in addition to knives, Viking axes, and other weapons. Early on July 17, 2022, Mr. Fitzgerald, 25, passed away at Groves’ house. He had two daughters. She allegedly behaved jealously and stabbed Mr. Fitzgerald while he slept after learning that he had been messaging someone online whom she had believed to be a 13-year-old girl.
According to the prosecutor, Steven Perian KC, Groves pretended to be a victim of sexual assault to an acquaintance by using information she learned from documentaries. She sent a friend edited videos of the two having sex, but the prosecution insisted that the initial footage demonstrated that the sex was consensual.
