Gerard Ross


Listen Later

It was around 930AM, as Stewart, the boy’s father, was fitting some carseats in the family car. He saw Gerard and Malcolm’s legs pass as they walked down the driveway and turned into Kent St.


A short way down the street, at around number 99, Malcolm cruised park his younger brother on his roller blades, and called out that he’d meet him at the comic store. This was the last time Malcolm saw his brother Gerard.


Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the tragic unsolved murder of 11 year old Gerard Ross.
