Shaye Groves, who was found guilty of viciously stabbing her boyfriend to death, had a soft spot for serial killers.

The 27-year-old decorated her bedroom with framed portraits of notorious murderers and violent criminals, with the likes of Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Myra Hindley, and Peter Sutcliffe up there.

She also had a decent book collection about these sickos, very much including the notorious prisoner Charles Bronson.

The BBC reports that she used information from these true crime cases to plan her alibi.

In July last year, Groves slit Frankie Fitzgerald’s throat before plunging the blade into his chest 17-22 times at her home in Havant, Hampshire, UK:

Prosecutors said she acted out of jealousy and stabbed Mr Fitzgerald as he slept after she discovered he had been messaging who she mistakenly thought was a 13-year-old girl on social media.

It turned out that the individual was actually 17 and had been blocked by Fitzgerald:

The New York Post reveals that she allegedly giggled over his corpse during a video chat with her friend after committing the heinous act:

Groves’ former friend, Vikki Baitup, testified that the accused killer video called her after the attack, and that she was “giggling away.”

Baitup claimed that Groves pointed the camera at Fitzgerald’s body and said “I’ve done him,” the Daily Mail reported.

Baitup called the police, who arrived at the murder scene to find an “incredibly strong” smell of bleach in the bedroom.

According to prosecutors, Groves was “obsessed” with Fitzgerald’s “performance in the bedroom,” and the pair had a maddening sex life that reportedly involved bondage, dominance, submission and masochism, and some “knife play”.

She apparently had knives and Viking axes and kept a Celtic dagger, used to kill Mr Fitzgerald, under her pillow or close to her bed.

Judge The Hon Mr Justice Kerr said their relationship had a “dangerous dynamic” and was “marked by rough sex, cocaine and alcohol”:

In a letter read to the court, Groves gave Fitzgerald written permission to “wake [her] up through sexual intercourse from the date of 22 March until further notice.”

Groves apparently filmed the couple’s sex acts on a camera in her bedroom. Baitup testified that she had used similar footage to blackmail previous boyfriends.

“She compiles evidence against everyone to see how she can use them as leverage,” Baitup said of Groves, who she remembered was “not shy” about her unique sex life.

Freakily, Groves is saying that she acted out of self-defence, something the prosecutor said she made up, using knowledge gained from documentaries to portray herself as a victim of sexual violence:

She sent a friend videos of the pair having sex, edited to appear as rape – but the prosecution said the original footage showed it was actually consensual.

Mr Perian added: “The Crown say that the defendant – by reading about and watching murder documentaries – she was familiar with crime scenes, how to create a false narrative and how to set up a false alibi.”

Groves, who once attacked a former roommate with nail clippers, was found guilty of murder after the trial and jailed for a minimum of 23 years at Winchester Crown Court.
