Why Dad Killed Mum: My Family's Secret

Tasnim was 16 months old when her dad set her mum's home in Telford alight.

Before he set the house on fire, he carried baby Tasnim to safety, placing her under an apple tree in the garden. Tasnim's mum, grandmother and aunt were all killed in the blaze. Lucy Lowe, Tasnim's mum, was just 16 years old.

Azhar Ali Mehmood, Tasnim's dad, has served 18 years in jail for triple murder. He is now eligible for release and Tasnim has been asked to bring her opinion to the parole board. Tasnim, now 19 years old, wants answers about why her dad killed her mum. Her search takes her back to the late 90s as she investigates her parents' relationship, and it reveals a shocking truth that takes her deep into a secret that rocked a community.
