Should I Marry a Murderer? -the Love Story that Uncovered a Killer
The three-part series shows how Dr Caroline Muirhead helped gather evidence that led to her fiancé’s conviction in the killing of cyclist Tony Parsons.
- On Wednesday, April 29, Netflix released the three-part true crime docuseries 'Should I Marry a Murderer?' detailing how forensic pathologist Dr. Caroline Muirhead exposed her fiancé, Alexander 'Sandy' McKellar, for the 2017 killing of cyclist Tony Parsons.
- In September 2017, McKellar struck Parsons with his car while driving under the influence in the Scottish Highlands; his twin brother Robert McKellar then helped bury the victim in a peat bog on the Auch Estate.
- Following their November 2020 engagement, McKellar confessed the killing to Muirhead; she secretly gathered evidence by marking the burial site with a Red Bull can, allowing police to recover the remains in January 2021.
- Alexander McKellar pleaded guilty to culpable homicide and received a 12-year prison sentence in 2023, while Robert was sentenced to five years and three months for attempting to defeat the ends of justice.
- Director Josh Allott's series explores the 'unimaginable' dilemma Muirhead faced while secretly gathering evidence against her partner, examining the psychological toll of navigating the relationship amid the investigation into the 'much loved' grandfather's death.
