OLIVIA Colman is starring in a dark new drama series called Landscapers.
But behind this Sky Atlantic show lies a truly horrific true story that involves killersChristopher and Susan Edwards.
Who are Susan and Christopher Edwards and where are they now?
Susan Edwards, with the help of her husband Christopher, murdered her parents in order to rinse their bank accounts of £300K, splurging thousands on celebrity autographs and other Hollywood memorabilia.
The couple managed to get away with their crime committed in Forest Town, Nottingham for 15 years, forging letters and documents to make it seem as though the Wycherleys were still alive.
But eventually their elaborate web of lies unravelled and they handed themselves in to cops in Lille after fleeing to France.
It all started when Christopher shot Patricia and William Wycherley twice with a Second World War revolver inside the back bedroom of the victims' semi-detached home.
The couple's grim plot to get away with murder began with a bang on the May bank holiday weekend of 1998.
Neighbours would later testify they'd seen Christopher "up to his waist" digging in the garden that day — he was digging their graves.

Under the cover of darkness, he and Susan wrapped the pensioners' bodies in a duvet and carried them downstairs and into the garden where they buried the couple.
With the Wycherleys gone, the Edwardses set about covering up their cold-blooded crime in a deceit which would last 15 years.
Where are they now?
Shortly after the murder investigation was launched in 2013, and after the Edwards' fled to France, Det Ch Insp received a surprising email marked high importance — it was from Christopher.
"Later on today we are going to surrender ourselves to the UK Border Force Authorities at the Eurostar terminal at Lille Europe station," it read.
"We would prefer to do this … since my wife is already sufficiently frightened. Please could you notify the UK Border Force at Lille Europe so that they may expect us."
They were arrested and, at trial back in Britain, they admitted obstructing a coroner in the execution of his duty and pleaded guilty to theft of a credit balance from a bank account.
But they stuck to their story about the killings, denying that they'd murdered the Wycherleys.
They were found guilty in 2014 of killing Susan's parents, with the judge calling Susan "an accomplished liar and a fantasist".
The Edwards' were sentenced to life in prison with a minimum of 25 years each.
