A Scottish woman uncovers her fiancé's deadly secret and helps police crack a long-unsolved murder in Netflix's gripping docuseries.
Netflix's three-part docuseries Should I Marry a Murderer? retells the extraordinary true story from Scotland: Caroline Muirhead discovers that her fiancé, Alexander “Sandy” McKellar, has killed a man and covered up the murder, a revelation that shifts from romance to risk in an instant.
