Eugenia Ronder wears a veil to cover severe facial scars resulting from a lion attack, which left her with no nose, a missing eye, caved-in cheekbones, and a disfigured mouth.
Eugenia Ronder's husband was killed by a lion attack, but it was later revealed that the attack was staged using a weapon designed to mimic a lion's paw, crafted by Eugenia and her lover Leonardo Boras.
The weapon, resembling a lion's paw, was designed to kill Eugenia's husband while making it appear as if the lion had attacked him. It was crafted with steel nails to mimic the structure of a lion's claws.
Eugenia planned her husband's murder due to years of abuse, including physical torture and emotional torment. She collaborated with her lover, Leonardo Boras, to end her husband's life.
Leonardo Boras drowned in the English Channel while involved with human trafficking gangs. Eugenia learned of his death through an article but expressed no desire for vengeance, only lingering love.
THE PREDATOR AND ITS PREY - cases come in all shapes and sizes... but when Mark Merrilow came round to apologise I never expected to find ourselves here. Speaking with Eugenia Ronder and hearing her fascinating tale. This is a case - and indeed an episode - like no other.
