An episode of Green Eyed Killers is set to air on Crime & Investigation. The episode, titled “Kay Baker,” explores the tragic murder of 43-year-old mother-of-two and math teacher, Kay Baker, and the role of her partner, Matthew Terry, a former marine with a violent history.
On the fateful night, Kay Baker was out with friends at a bar when she was seen dancing with another man, an act that reportedly enraged her partner, Matthew Terry. During their car journey home, a distressed Baker called a friend, pleading for help to ease the tension and assure Terry that her dance was innocent. Despite her attempts to defuse the situation, tragedy struck.
In the early hours of May 28, 2022, neighbours made a grim discovery: the lifeless body of Kay Baker. This shocking murder sent waves of grief through the community and sparked an investigation that uncovered Terry’s dark past, which included a previous conviction for stabbing his ex-partner. The justice system delivered a strong response, finding Terry guilty of first-degree murder, resulting in a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
The episode investigates the circumstances before and after Baker’s death, casting light on the destructive consequences of jealous rage and domestic violence. It prompts important discussions about recognising warning signs and the response of the justice system to such heinous crimes.
Green Eyed Killers: Kay Baker will be broadcast on Crime & Investigation. It airs on Wednesday 26 June 2024, at 9:00 PM.
