Katie: I sometimes think I should've killed abuser

Star shares her story with violent US inmates

- BY NICOLA METHVEN TV Editor

KATIE Piper sometimes thinks she “should have killed” the ex-partner who was behind the acid attack which scarred her for life in 2008.

The TV presenter makes her candid confession in a new documentary in which she travels to the US state of Louisiana to speak to female inmates.

Katie, who needed 400 operations for her injuries, wanted to find out what drives people to commit horrific violence of the kind she endured.

Along with her all-female crew, she spent a month in a New Orleans prison where many inmates await trial on murder charges.

Katie's four-parter, starting this Sunday, comes days after it has emerged her attacker Daniel Lynch, 48, has a parole hearing in June.

He was given life with a minimum 16 years in 2009 for instructing Stefan Sylvestre to carry out the acid attack, days after he raped Katie in a hotel.
