Luke D'Wit used fake personalities to trick Stephen and Carol Baxter before rewriting their wills.
Luke D'Wit volunteered at a soup kitchen, helped with a town carnival and appeared willing and ready to assist anyone who needed it. In reality, the computer science graduate was a cold, calculating murderer described by a senior police officer as "one of the most dangerous men" he had ever dealt with.
What his mum did not know was that the previous night, her son had poisoned the Baxters by administering lethal doses of the opioid painkiller fentanyl into their medication. And so it made sense that D'Wit, who kept Mrs Baxter company on walks and helped her take her medication, would run to the family house in Victory Road after they were found dead.Kate Dawson, a good friend of the Baxters, says his presence in and around the house - even after their deaths - was not unusual.
Mrs Baxter was suffering with the thyroid condition Hashimoto's and her mental state was deteriorating.So when a doctor from the United States offered her services and access to a wide network of fellow sufferers, it seemed to be the reassurance Mrs Baxter needed.. They were created by D'Wit to manipulate Mrs Baxter and to trick her into distancing herself from her family.
On the night of 7 April, D'Wit administered fatal doses of fentanyl to the Baxters in what they thought was their medication.The day after the Baxters were found dead, a new will was drawn up in their name. It detailed how their "dear friend Luke D'Wit" would be made the director and person with significant control of Cazsplash should they die.
