Piers Morgan meets 24-year-old killer Erin Caffey in Killer Women with Piers Morgan ITV

Piers Morgan came face to face with some Killer Women last night, and viewers were pretty happy about it. The former newspaper editor took a break from flirting up a storm with Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain to embark on some serious television journalism as he travelled across America meeting and interrogating some first-hand murderers, leaving the nation aghast.

We all got the creeps when a tremoring Morgan didn't quite know how to handle the speciously angelic Erin Caffey, who orchestrated the murders of her whole family with her high school boyfriend Charlie Wilkinson at the age of 16.

And it all got a bit much when her father, Terry Caffey – who miraculously survived the ordeal with multiple gunshot wounds – broke down in tears as he learned how his blonde-haired and blue-eyed pretty daughter planned the deaths of her mother Penny, who was shot, stabbed and almost decapitated, along with her little brothers Matthew, 13 and Tyler, eight, who were shot and butchered with a samurai sword. Caffey sent Wilkinson and his friend Charles Waid to do the killing, while she and Waid's girlfriend waited in a car nearby.
