Loading...This documentary follows the story of a woman fighting to prove her daughter-in-law was responsible for her son’s death.
On a hot night in 2002, a murder took place in Manila, Philippines. The victim was a British business man named Steven Alston Davis. His death would transform the life of his mother, Margaret Davis, forever.
For years, the case would go unsolved, while Margaret battled to piece together the clues to his death. Using every ounce of time, effort and money she had, her life became consumed in trying to figure out who had killed her son.
Evelyn Bohol, Steve’s wife, find herself at the very heart of these investigations.
Where are they now
Evelyn Bohol is still in prison for murdering her husband, she was given 40 years without remission.
Margaret Davis still lives in the U.K. where she takes care of her son’s kids – Joshua and Jessica. Every Christmas Margaret sends Evelyn Bohol a Christmas letter. In these Christmas letters she accounts for how her kids are doing well and how they are living a better life without their mother.
Steven Alston Davis go-to bar ‘Harry The Horse’ in Angeles city, Philippines, helps send these yearly Christmas letters to Evelyn Bohol.
A letter from 2012, writes:
Evelyn, your two children Jessica and Joshua are growing into fine young children. Jessica is beautiful and Josh is handsome. They are well cared for, getting a good education and not missing their evil mother at all. I hope you are continuing to suffer a lousy life in prison and I continue to regret that you escaped a death sentence. The fact that you got a life sentence, 40 years, without remission, is a little satisfying. Knowing you will never see your children again is even more satisfying. They are having a fine Christmas, may yours be absolutely terrible.
In 2014, a letter wrote:
As usual I have included the updated picture of her children that she will never again hold in her arms, children that will never love her and only remember her as the greedy bitch that killed him for money and to be with her Filipino boyfriend. Like I wrote every year, I never know if she ever sees this message, I can only hope that someone gets it to her each year. The following is a message from Margaret and her husband Allan.
The kids are doing very well, Jessica is in the final year in high school and is looking to go to university to do business studies and sociology. Joshua is in the 2nd year in high school and wants to become a computer programmer. Wonder where he gets that from? They are very good and stable kids, and we are so proud of them both…
another Christmas letter from 2016, writes:
Now, I must send my annual Christmas greeting to the killer wife of Steven Davis. Evelyn dear I sincerely hope that you are having a miserable life in jail. Again I will include pictures of your two children that you will never meet again. Josh and Jessica are being well cared for by Margaret Davis and her husband Alan. They are being well educated and have a bright future in front of them.
I do not know if a murderer such as you can shed a tear but maybe seeing the kids you once shared with Steven might break through your greedy hard heart.

Case without explicit proof, and contains truly odd elements.
A planned kill, where Evelyn goes on along in the car, driving for several hours, just to show where Mick was living, on the very night of the murder?
This role of Evelyn’s part in the murders was necessary to get her convicted, as there was no evidence. It comes from from state witness who took part in the murder, and walked free as part of the deal.
Reading the brief trial transcripts clearly states that it is all a matter of belief and statement, including hearsay. Yes, we believe the state witness. No, we don’t believe the defendant.
The deal made with the state witness – walking scot free – is unknown, but Margaret kidnapped two children, before the trial were completed. That is a serious crime, and her motivation to justify this high. One of the judges in the case was involved in a bribe case.
The viscious letters to a woman who took a job to support her family, married Steven and had had her children are disturbing.
Margaret has with certainty shown her nature, and her role in the case will be undeniable.
Doesn’t deserve to die, but he was a pedo?
“Justice has been serve” It is a heartbreaking story . Steven is a very wonderful man inside and out . He is well educated guy. And to the family of Steven , I’m so sorry for the lost of your beloved son..
Evelyn is truly a murderer , evil woman and a liar…
Hello Margaret, I have watched the tragedy of your son’s murder by the bitch Evelyn on YouTube .
I agree with you that Hoping she has a horrible life in prison.
In fact being in prison for 40 years will make her suffer more than if she had the death penalty because she’s suffering from the idea not to see her children anymore. On top of that a greedy person like her will not have the comfort she used to have in her very nice house, but instead
Will have to deal with the crowded , filthy environment she’s in, so it’s better she suffer that way.
I know that the death penalty would have been seen as a fare outcome but she would not suffer after what she did.
I hope you are doing better, and the children are doing well.
I feel VERY, VERY, VERY SAD for the Young Lady Evelyn Bohol. I hope one day She gets to meet, hug and kiss Her 2 Children.
She will never see them again.
Why feeling sorry for a murderer!?
She had everything and she ruined her children’s life and her parents in law’s.
She will never meet them again, and I hope like Margaret she has a miserable life in jail because she deserves it.
Hi Roman , I am a filipina too like Evelyn please, don’t be sad for her behavior she deserve that way .We don’t tolerate the evil behavior . She totally destroyed her family .( Her very nice husband especially her children.) She came with the very poor family like me . She must be thankful for the blessings that God has given her instead. She choose a miserable life.. She must pay the price ..
Margaret (mother of Steven )sacrifice for the love of her beloved son .I really salute her . She did a good job . You are the best mother of your children..
( I am married to my wonderful Canadian husband . I am very happy for the blessings that God has given me.)
Roman please watch the” you tube” about that story..
Respectfully yours.
Please explain why Stevens business Mick who was with Steven when he was shot, when questioned that Evelyns bother in-law was taking a very risky chance of being identified by the police, as he wasn’t concealing his identity. Mikes simple explanation was the three perpetrators grabbed a cushion each to cover up their identities come on Mike you don’t really expect anyone reading that to really believe you? and also it’s quoted that one of the perpetrators actually took your girlfriend by her arm leading her to the toilet and locking her inside it, come on Mike explain how toilet doors locks work, from the best of my knowledge toilet doors lock from inside? So please explain how was she locked inside.
The book also fails to mention what line of business Mr Davis and yourself were into, why not?. Perhaps it was to embarrassing for the books author include it. I read somewhere the company got busted from time to time. Being a foreigner Mr Davis was treading on someone’s patch was seriously asking to take a bullet in a place like the Philippines? I also understand you can buy anything in the Philippines and that includes justice too, Evelyn was only claiming what was rightfully hers to claim, evelyn had no motive to murder her husband because his business should have transferred to her, Mr Davis would have had to pay her out after a divorce If ever there was one pending. Probably the money she should have been entitled to for her and the children was used to put her in jail for something that she clearly had nothing to do with. Framed!
Uh… It’s all there in the documentary and countless sources online??
They have all the proves to convict her, she was in the car doing the lookout.
So she could tell al the lies, it was no use.
These people are good drama king and Queen, and big liars as well.
You are right Marie , Evelyn brother in law is one of the witness that he went with Evelyn with a car and the he asked Evelyn where they go?
“she was in the car doing the lookout.”
Who says so?
The witness that was co-accused for the murder , but walked free after telling the story Margaret wanted.
That is the only source. Do you trust it?
i believe you. all scripted, framed and there is no evidences that leads to poor evelyn, only witnesses, witnesses bought with great some of money.
Heartbreaking documentary. I wish the mom and the kids all the best and I wish Evelyn a long long life in prison…….
Framed!!!
