The Family Court Murders
A must-see true crime investigation
Four murders. Five bombings. Two shootings. How did one man get away with a relentless campaign of terror for more than a decade?
Join Walkley Award-winning investigative crime journalist Debi Marshall as she puts the evidence jigsaw together to bring the Family Court killer to justice. Hitting at the very heart of the Australian judicial system, these attacks left an indelible mark. The backdrop is a society grappling then and now with crippling family violence, coercive control, and the aftermath of divorce. This series takes us on a dramatic true crime story while offering insights and some solutions for our future.
