In 2000, former royal dresser Jane Andrews' murder of Tom Cressman shocked Britain. She was portrayed as a jealous and obsessive bunny boiler.
Jane Andrews led a privileged life, from designing children's clothes for Marks and Spencer to becoming Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York's dresser-and no one would have ever imagined the crime she ended committing.
However, with an emotional past, a failed marriage and mental health problems, the former high-flying fashion designer from Lincolnshire committed murder in 2000. In what some assume to be a fit of rage after her then-boyfriend Thomas Cressman told her that he had no longer planned to marry her, she hit him with a cricket bat and then stabbed him to death.
On April 23, 2001, Andrews went to trial at the Old Bailey. Prosecutors said the motive for the killing was a woman scorned. Andrews, however, claimed that her partner had been abusive during their relationship. The jury took 12 hours to debate the case and Andrews was ultimately convicted of murder and sent to life in prison, with a minimum of 12 years, in 2001.
In 2009 she escaped prison and was found three days later in a hotel room with her family, just six miles away from the prison. Later in 2015, she was released from prison early and in 2018 was recalled back after being accused of harassing a former boyfriend. An investigation found no evidence of the harassment and Andrews was re-released from prison in 2019.
