In 2011, the peaceful town of Haslemere, Surrey, was shaken by a horrific crime that shattered a family. Heather Cooper, a former detective constable and devoted mother, was killed by her partner - the father of their two young children.

In a chilling act of violence, Heather's life was taken in front of their three-year-old son, while their newborn, a daughter who was only weeks old, was left helpless. The aftermath of that tragic day left an entire community in shock and mourning.
