Episode 6
Saturday, 3 May, 2025

In March 2006 in the Bronx, New York, three children watched in horror as their pregnant mother, 37-year-old Marilyn Ginel was brutally beaten and stabbed to death by her ex boyfriend, Robert Coakley and his wife, Maria Coakley. 12 years later in 2018, Marilyn's eldest daughter, 25-year-old Lisa Marie Velasquez would meet a similar fate when she was brutally beaten to death with a hammer by 34-year-old Daquan Wheeler as she tried to help her friend, Ciara Martinez after she stated that Daquan was beating her and had fled with their child. Ciara and Daquan proceeded to then dismember Lisa and place her remains in trash bags in two park near the area.
