    Shortcut: The Stabbing of Angus Beaumont

    Shortcut: The Stabbing of Angus Beaumont

    This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 
    Our guest today is Michelle Liddle. In February this year, she watched for the second time as two teenagers fought for their freedom after taking the life of her fifteen year old son, Angus Beaumont, in a Brisbane park in 2020.
    They were aged just 13 and 14 at the time of the lethal stabbing. One was on bail for armed robbery and the other was on probation.
    They both had significant histories of violent assaults. But even though Angus's final moments were captured on CCTV, the boys successfully appealed their initial convictions for his stabbing death and won a retrial.
    That judge only trial began in December 2023 and ended with one of the boys being found guilty of murder and the other guilty of manslaughter. They were sentenced to nine years and six years respectively.
    However, each of them is expected to serve around half of those sentences.

    Shortcut: The Chase for Skase

    Shortcut: The Chase for Skase

    This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 
    Today's episode is the story of one of Australia's infamous, flamboyant 1980s high fliers, the one and only Christopher Skase.
    Christopher Skase was an Australian businessman who gained notoriety in the 1980s and 1990s.
    Skase's empire collapsed in the early 1990s due to massive debts and allegations of corporate misconduct. He fled Australia for Spain in 1991 to avoid legal proceedings, leading to a highly publicised extradition battle.
    Skase remained in Mallorca, Spain, until his death in 2001, evading attempts by Australian authorities to bring him back to face charges.

    Re-Issue: 33 year old Cold Case Solved: The Murder of Little Kylie Maybury - #14

    Re-Issue: 33 year old Cold Case Solved: The Murder of Little Kylie Maybury - #14

    This is a re-issue of episode #14. Originally aired July 13th, 2017.
    Sent on a simple errand to the local shops by her mother, six-year-old Kylie Maybury never made it home alive. Her body was found the following day, discarded in a gutter, but the circumstances of her death, and the identity of her killer remained unknown for 33 years. In the end, he was eerily close to home all along. Veteran crime reporter Keith Moor talks us through the details of the case, and the strange twists and turns in Kylie's case.
