Moment Stephen and Carol Baxter’s daughter discovers their bodies at home in Essex

This was the moment Stephen and Carol Baxter’s daughter discovered their bodies at home in Essex. On 9 April last year, a 999 handler received a frantic call from their daughter, screaming that she had found her dead parents sitting in their armchairs in their conservatory. Taking over the call as Miss Baxter wept, Luke D’Wit described himself as a “friend” and calmly spoke to the operators until paramedics arrived. Luke D’Wit, 34, who befriended and worked for Stephen and Carol Baxter, created a series of fake online personas to manipulate them before he killed them through fentanyl poisoning. D’Wit denied their murders but was found guilty by unanimous verdicts at Chelmsford Crown Court on Wednesday, following a trial that lasted more than a month and on a third day of jury deliberations.
