What drives women to kill? Crime & Investigation Network's All New Snapped: Women Who Kill chronicles true crime stories of ordinary women who, for different reasons, have killed someone close to them.

The documentary features interviews with people who possess first-hand knowledge of the cases and shows how even the most ordinary of people can be capable of premeditated murder.

Among the accused tonight is Michelle Michael, who allegedly drugged her husband while he was asleep and thenset the house alight.

The long-running hit series from the US delves deep into the real stories of the women who "snap" with deadly consequences for the men in their lives.

All the women featured in the series have one thing in common - at some point they snapped and are now paying the penalty by serving long prison sentences in the US.

  • 'All New Snapped: Women Who Kill' airs at 9.55pm Monday to Friday on Crime and Investigation network, Channel 255
