A BEAUTIFUL horsewoman, her charming abuser and a twisted web of sex, deception and violence – Fabulous investigates the tragic murder of Katie Simpson Slumped in the passenger seat of the car, Katie Simpson’s life was ebbing away. 4 Talented horse rider Katie Simpson, was murdered by her brother-in-law Jonathan Creswell 4 Creswell took his own lift on the first day of his court case in April 2021 On the phone to a 999 operator, her sister’s partner Jonathan Creswell was being talked through how to perform CPR on her. “Nothing’s happening.

I think I’m hurting her,” he shouted down the phone. It would prove to be a darkly accurate statement. Less than a week later, on August 3, 2020, 21-year-old Katie – a talented showjumper – died in hospital, having never regained consciousness.

The person responsible for her death? Jonathan Creswell. Far from being the hero who, as he’d claimed to hospital staff, had found her after she tried to take her own life and rushed her to A&E, it was he who brutally attacked and raped her. He then watched over her in hospital as, surrounded by her devastated family, she took her last breath.

Creswell, 36, who was in a relationship with Katie’s older sister Christina, and the father of Christina’s two children, was charged with murder in March 2021, seven months after her death.
