The greater part of women meet nice men at the bar.
But then there are also women who are targeted by a violent bastard or even a serial killer. This is what happened to a nurse living in London in the early 1990s To Delia Balmer.

You can be afraid all the time.
Even playing a murderer Shaun Evans was initially dismissive of the fact that he had to get into Sweeney’s shoes in his role.
“The first thought was that it’s really not fun. But then I thought that it would be interesting and professionally challenging”, Young Morse Evans (b. 1980), known for the series, told reporters in London.

By Julia Ford directing Until I Kill You -miniseries, Martin’s character has almost the whole world in front of him.
It’s not enough to have a serial killer on your butt. The police and the British legal system are also working against the victim – not so much out of malice as out of incompetence.
But Balmer does not submit. He lets his anger both be seen and heard.
