The Cowra Axe Murders (2008)

Shelly worked her shift and returned to her parents house in Brougham St around 2PM. When she went inside, her Dad, John, was making a cup of tea. But Shelly felt something was off, immediately.

The first thing she noticed was that the latch on her parents bedroom door was snibbed shut, but from the outside. This was strange because if her Mum was inside, she couldn't have locked it from the outside.

Shelly unlatched the door and opened it, and looked in to see her Mum lying on the floor. She turned to John and said, ‘did I just see what I think...?’

Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the brutal and tragic murders that occurred in Cowra, NSW, in 2008.
