Joy鈥檚 church is described as being a 鈥渞acist hate group鈥� by a civil rights organisation and we hear how her involvement in the church caused huge friction between Joy and her family.

In this episode, we discover why the Southern Poverty Law Center has put Joy鈥檚 church - Israel United in Christ - on a list of 鈥渂lack nationalist hate groups鈥�. We hear how the church teaches its members that white people are the 鈥渄evil鈥� as well as claims it encourages them to cut themselves off from non-believers - something the church denies. We speak to Joy鈥檚 mum at a time when she鈥檚 struggling to cope and hear how a series of family tragedies had left Joy feeling vulnerable.

Presented by Cherry Wilson, The Murder of Joy Morgan is a six-part series that follows Joy鈥檚 family for 12 months as they try to make sense of what鈥檚 happened. And it delves into Joy鈥檚 involvement in a controversial church - where she met her killer.
