How Simon Gittany murdered Lisa Harnum A terrified woman runs for the door, her final effort to escape a cruel and controlling fiance. She is too late. A secret camera captures him covering her mouth to suppress her screams as he drags her back inside. 69 seconds later Lisa Harnum is dead.

Their suspicions are further confirmed when it emerges his well-kept recording devices had been switched off only hours before Lisa died. With on
