Prosecutors said D’Wit created a fake will on his phone the day after the Baxters were found dead.
An IT worker who poisoned a married couple with fentanyl may have been motivated by a desire to control others, a judge said as he jailed him for life with a minimum term of 37 years for their murder.
Luke D’Wit, 34, who has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 37 years for the murder of Stephen and Carol Baxter “I consider that it is distinctly possible that what really motivated you was a desire to control others, as you had manipulated and controlled Carol Baxter in the two years before her death, and as you continued to manipulate Ellena Baxter after her parents’ death,” said the judge.
Reading her victim impact statement in court, Ellie Baxter told how D’Wit “lied his way into our lives”. Prosecutor Tracy Ayling KC said D’Wit’s murder of Stephen and Carol Baxter involved “quite an extraordinary long-term case of manipulation”.
