Macabre for Mortals episodes

  • Episode 21 - The case of Sarah Payne

    Hello and welcome to this week’s episode of macabre for mortals. I hope that you are all having a great week where ever you are in the world. I hope you all enjoyed the last episode giving the over view of parole and what it entails in a few different countries.

    I know that parole is a very contentious subject at the moment where I am living in Australia which I will touch on at the end of this episode to see if there are any similarities that can be drawn between cases. I know everyone has their own take on it and I will love to hear what you think of parole in your country and whether you think it is effective or not.

    This is the case of Sarah Payne.

  • Episode 17 - The case of John Price

    This week I am going to be covering the case of John Price. Not many people know the name of this victim, his name is a very generic common name but who he was and the awful things that happened to him gives it even more reason for him to be remembered.

    My sources this week were mainly news articles from seven news and ABC news and back ground of Aberdeen from aussietowns.com.au

  • Episode 12 - The case of Christopher Donnelly

    Preface to this series is that if you have been a victim of domestic violence or are currently experiencing it this could be distressing. But I am just trying to give everyone the information and tools to be able to identify and hopefully help cases of domestic violence. It is quite poignant that I am bringing out this episode today as it is White ribbon day in Australia, which is a day we should talk about and raise money for victims of Domestic Violence.
