True-crime presenter Emma Kenny brings her tour 'The Serial Killer Next Door' to the Spa Theatre with her show 'Killer Couples'.
Emma Kenny brings Killer Couples to the Spa Theatre at Scarborough Spa on Saturday 13 March 2027. It's a true-crime show that follows her previous tour, The Serial Killer Next Door, and it's one of the country's foremost live looks at the subject.
Kenny is one of the UK's most notable psychological therapists and crime commentators, specialising in victimology. She's best known for presenting crime shows like Britain's Darkest Taboos, Lady Killers and The Killer in My Family, and has fronted more than 70 programmes analysing some of the most heinous crimes in the UK and the States. Much of that work asks what makes a killer and why some people, brought up without fear or abuse, still choose a murderous path.
Killer Couples takes that focus and narrows it down to pairs who kill together. She looks at the psychology of couples in crime, citing the infamous Brady and Hindley alongside more recent equivalents, and asks how love can become an accessory to murder. It's the same kind of question she's been asking across her career, just shifted to the dynamic between two people.
