A new documentary raises questions about the 2015 murder of an Irish-born man in his North Carolina home.

Jason Corbett’s American wife, Molly Martens, and her father, former FBI agent Thomas Martens, confessed to beating Corbett to death on Aug. 2, 2015, but they have maintained that they were acting in self-defense after Corbett apparently tried to choke his wife.

“There were times when I thought, ‘I’m gonna die,'” Molly Martens says in the documentary. 

The Martens were convicted in Corbett’s death in 2017, but their convictions were overturned on appeal. In 2023, Thomas Martens pleaded guilty to beating Corbett to death with a bat and Molly Martens pleaded no contest, prompting their respective releases from prison in 2024.

The former FBI agent described Corbett’s killing as “one of those cases where you wonder if you ever really get the answers, and there’s only two people that will ever know, and it’s Tom and his daughter.”
