Ep 6. Pyro Joe

In season 2 episode 6 of I AM A KILLER, viewers are introduced to "Pyro" Joe. Joe is currently serving a life sentence for the murder of his friend, Steve. Joe and Steve had been friends for several years and were often involved in reckless behaviour, such as shooting guns and setting off fireworks. However, one night, their behaviour took a deadly turn.

Joe claims that he and Steve had been drinking heavily and lighting fireworks when Steve accidentally set off a firework in the wrong direction.
