Detectives Joe Cassar and Russell Oxford inspected the scene. The house was immaculate, not an item out of place, not a dirty dish left out. Bloodstains lined the hallway leading in to the bedroom where the victim lay. there was a smear of blood on the doorjamb, and in another room nearby, a footprint on the bedspread facing an open window; the like point of escape.

The victim lay slouched over the bed, battered and mutilated, the blood spattering on the walls and bed abundant. The throat had been cut and there was noticeable slashes around the buttocks. Shocking as the crime scene was, however, the most likely perpetrator was safely locked away behind bars… or was he?

Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss part 2 of the infamous and gruesome Wollongong Murders.
