Synopsis | Beautiful Lilie (2024)
At 21, Lilie James was busy doing all the things people do at that young age. Studying, working, playing, she was on the threshold of a promising life. But, tragically, last October this beautiful and vivacious woman was savagely beaten to death in the gymnasium of the school where she had a part-time job. The level of violence was shocking - so too was the identity of the man who killed her. Paul Thijssen, 24, Lilie’s ex-boyfriend and co-worker at the school, was by all accounts a model citizen. That he could commit such a heinous crime was inconceivable to most who knew him. On 60 MINUTES, Tara Brown speaks exclusively to Lilie James’ heartbroken parents, and delves into Thijssen’s well-hidden past to unmask the truth about this violent and cruel killer.
