They Made Her Confess To Murder

There was a dream. Celebrity status. Wealth. Fame in London's elite circles.

But dreams can become nightmares when fed by delusion and obsession.

Sabrina Kouider was born in Algeria in 1982 and fled civil war to Paris.

As a teenager, she was volatile, aggressive, and cruel. A classic bully.

If she didn't get her way, she would kick and scream and make scenes.

At eighteen, she jumped from a fourth floor balcony. She survived with severe injuries.

Addiction to prescription drugs became her escape from physical and psychological pain.

In Paris at nineteen, she met Sam at a street food stand.

Sam was twenty four and fell infatuated with her immediately.

Their relationship became toxic almost immediately. Abusive. Utterly manipulative.

Sabrina was a serial cheater. Sam always took her back.

She controlled him completely. She bent him entirely to her will.

This dynamic would shape absolutely everything that followed.

In 2004, Sabrina moved to London alone to chase her celebrity dreams.

Sam followed shortly after, unable to live without her.

They married in a religious ceremony that held no legal weight.

Sabrina worked as a nanny first. She was searching for something bigger.

Then she met Mark Walton, a founding member of the boy band Boyzone.

Mark had become a hugely successful music producer. Wealthy. Connected. Powerful.

This was everything Sabrina had ever wanted: money, status, celebrity access.

They moved in together in West London. For months, it seemed perfect.

Sabrina finally had the glamorous life she'd always dreamed of.

But maintaining perfection required her to stay perfect. That was impossible.

When Mark's attention wasn't on her, Sabrina's mask slipped.

She became paranoid. Violent. Increasingly unstable and dangerous.

She accused Mark's nannies of trying to seduce him. Then she fired them.

Mark hired camera after camera. He found nothing. There was nothing to find.
