Couples who kill are set to be spotlighted in a new show that explores their motivations.

Snapped: Killer Couples looks at the gruesome murders where it turned out that a loved-up twosome were responsible for.

In the first episode of the series, the show looks at the death of Dennis Abrahamsen who police believe met his demise so his killers could get a sexual kick.

The 41-year-old was found face down on a massage table with multiple stab wounds and his head bludgeoned.

Behind the 2010 attack was adult-movie star Amanda Logue and her partner Jason Andrews.

Speaking from a prison cell in Florida, Logue said killing was what got her boyfriend aroused.

On the night of his death, Dennis had booked Logue to perform at a sex party but his body was found dead the next morning.

Logue claimed she was innocent and instead pinpointed her partner as the culprit.

Recalling the event, she said her lover stormed in with "something in his hands, like a big hammer. He started just bashing [Dennis] in the back of the head... he said if I told anybody, he'd do the same to me."

But her version of events didn't match up to messages later discovered on her phone.

One text from her partner in crime read: "I'm so glad you're really committed to this. Keep eyes for a knife etc for me!"

Eventually the two were sentenced for the crime after Andrews confessed.

He ended up getting a life sentence while Logue was hit with 40 years imprisonment.

Their dramatic story can be watched at 10pm on Monday on the Crime and Investigation channel.
