A new documentary airing tonight on ITV will see Susanna Reid meeting with the only British woman on death row in the Western world. 63-year-old Linda Carty has been awaiting execution for two decades, and will be the main subject of British Grandma on Death Row with Susanna Reid, which will air at 9pm.
Susanna Reid explained how Linda ended up facing execution. She said: "British woman Linda Carty has spent almost twenty years on death row.
"The court heard Linda orchestrated the kidnap of her pregnant neighbour, Joana Rodriguez, equipped with scrubs and scissors, as she intended to cut the baby out. Linda didn’t know that Joana had already had her baby four days earlier. Joana and her tiny baby boy were kidnapped and Joana was suffocated to death."
