New channel Sky Crime is airing I Love You, Now Die – the two-part documentary series which follows the case of the death of Conrad Roy and the involvement of his girlfriend Michelle Carter.

Conrad ended his life in 2014 when he was 18 years old.

His then-girlfriend, Michelle Carter, who was 17 at the time, encouraged him to do so via text and was later charged with manslaughter.

At the time, a judge wrote: ‘After she convinced him to get back into the carbon monoxide filled truck, she did absolutely nothing to help him: she did not call for help or tell him to get out of the truck as she listened to him choke and die.’

Michelle, who was by then 22, was sentenced to 15 months in jail.

On the day Roy died she told him: ‘You keep pushing it off and say you’ll do it but u never do. It’s always gonna be that way if u don’t take action.

‘I thought you wanted to do this. The time is right and you’re ready – just do it babe.’

‘You’re finally going to be happy in heaven. No more pain. It’s okay to be scared and it’s normal. I mean, you’re about to die,’ she wrote in another text.

In September of this year, Michelle appeared in court in Massachusetts to ask for early release from jail.

This request was denied.

She had at the time served seven months of her 15-month sentence.

Part one of I Love You, Now Die airs on Sky Crime on 6 October 2019.
