Within a week of meeting on a dating app, mum of one Katherine Smith and Anthony Lowe were engaged. The rapid pace of their relationship startled Katherine's family and friends. All Katherine’s family knew of Lowe came from his dating profile and they had no way of verifying this information. Within a few months, their worst fears were realised when police found Katherine's dead body.

In this episode of #Dead2Me: The Interviews, criminologist Dr Honor Doro Townshend discusses Katherine Smith's story with Laura Frombach and Joy Farrow, two experts who have spent their careers working to protect victims of domestic violence.
