Daughter of Irish man beaten to death by American wife, her ex-FBI agent father rejects self-defense claims

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

On August 2, 2015, Jason Corbett’s American wife, Molly Martens, and her father, former FBI agent Thomas Martens, admitted to beating Corbett to death. However, they insisted it was an act of self-defense after Corbett allegedly tried to choke his wife.

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

The Martens were found guilty in Corbett’s death in 2017, but their convictions were later overturned on appeal. By 2023, Thomas Martens admitted guilt to beating Corbett to death with a bat, and Molly Martens pleaded no contest, leading to their release from prison in 2024.

The former FBI agent called Corbett’s death “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.”
