Shaye Groves

February 2022, Shaye Groves and boyfriend Frankie Fitzgerald, had been in an on-off relationship, they would often film bondage sessions on a camera that was set up in the Groves home.

Groves home was full of Serial killer memorabilia, including framed photos of serial killers.

17th July 2022, In a fit of rage Shaye Groves acted out of jealousy, when she discovered boyfriend, 25-year-old Frankie Fitzgerald, had been messaging a 13-year-old girl on Facebook. She slit his throat, while he was sleeping, and then stabbed him a further 17-times in the chest and abdomen. It later turned out the girl was in fact 17-years-old, and Frankie had already blocked her on Facebook.

by reading about and watching many murder documentaries Groves was familiar with crime scenes, how to make a false narrative and how to set up a fake alibi.

Groves made a video and sent it to a friend, the videos showed Groves and boyfriend Frankie having sex, but Groves edited the video to appear as rape. Police would later find the original footage, which showed it was actually all consensual.

When police arrived, body-worn cameras showed Ms Groves telling officers Mr Fitzgerald had tried to attack her.

Police discovered Groves had knives, Viking axes and portraits of serial killers on her bedroom wall, is this relevant?
