What Made These Ladies lethal?

Piers Morgan on meeting female murderers for a new series of his hard-hitting documentary show.

Taking a sip from a cup of tea, Piers Morgan relaxes back into a plush sofa inside a hotel on London’s South Bank.

The Good Morning Britain presenter has just returned from the US where he’s been filming the second series of Killer Women with Piers Morgan, and is telling TV Times about one of the most memorable moments of the five-part series. 

‘One woman murdered a lady who she’d never met before, in cold blood,’ says Piers. ‘She always said her husband persuaded her to do it, but over the course of a couple of hours I managed to break her down and she confessed it had been her idea.’

Piers, 52, is talking about Ashley Humphrey who, in 2003, followed Sandra Rozzo home from work and shot her eight times at point-blank range, before calling her husband to ask him to order her a pizza.

‘I think she felt relieved to finally confess,’ says Piers. ‘This is ultimate journalism. You’re trying to unravel a heinous crime and trying to get inside the head of someone to work out why they did this terrible thing. That’s the challenge – to get to the truth of why they did it.’
