In the summer of 2019, a man drowned at a popular vacation spot outside Seoul while his wife stood just feet away on shore.

This week Current Affairs covers three cases. A Northern Ireland YouTuber is found guilty of murdering his pregnant girlfriend after staging a six-hour gaming livestream as his alibi — while she watched from home. In California, a 30-year-old father is found dead in his apartment and police arrest his ex-girlfriend and three accomplices across three states in what they're calling a deliberate murder-for-hire. And an update on the Hawaii doctor case: Arielle Konig takes the stand exactly one year after her husband allegedly tried to push her off a cliff.

Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.

A Utah jury convicts Kouri Richins in the death of her husband Eric after a case that unfolded from a late-night 911 call into a complex web of financial strain, insurance policies, and alleged poisoning with fentanyl. The episode walks through the key facts presented at trial, from mounting debt and changes to Eric’s estate to the evidence prosecutors say pointed to intent, and the questions that still remain about what happened inside their home that night.

Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.

A former NFL first-round draft pick is charged with killing his fiancée in a home they had shared for just ten days. Prosecutors say that in the hours before calling 911, he used ChatGPT to ask questions about her injuries and how to describe what had happened. As investigators detail a history of prior violence, a severe autopsy report, and inconsistencies in his account, those AI conversations have become part of the evidence in a case that is now headed toward a grand jury.

Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.
