    Episode 92 - Kim, Kayleigh and Kimberley Buckley

    In September 2012, 46 year old Kim Buckley, her 17 year old daughter Kayleigh Buckley and 6 month old granddaughter Kimberley Buckley all died in a house fire in Cwmbran, in Wales.   The fire had been deliberately started by Kayleigh’s controlling and abusive boyfriend – and father of Kimberley - Carl Mills who was later jailed for over 30 years for their murders. Mills groomed Kayleigh when she was just 15 years old and three statutory reports identified multiple failings in the police and social services response to the danger Mills posed. A heartbreaking story of the murder of three generations of a family and the failure of services to protect them.   This is the story of Kim, Kayleigh and Kimberley Buckley.   Information and support   Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans  Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA Women’s Aid Home - Women's Aid National Domestic Abuse Helpline UK 0808 2000 247 Mental health support USA Mental Health America | Homepage | Mental Health America Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline     References   Family Annihilation - Hansard - UK Parliament   CWMBRAN BLAZE: Family pays tribute to Kim, Kayleigh and Kimberley Buckley | South Wales Argus   Killer of three generations of the same family was involved in 45 incidents of violence against his own mother - Wales Online   String of tragedies for fire death family - BBC News   Serious case review into fire deaths - ITV News   Police Professional | Gwent response to fire murders criticised Gwent Police failed Carl Mills murder victims - reports - BBC News   Cwmbran fire death family 'likely' to have been saved if killer's history had been properly researched | ITV News Wales   Risk to Cwmbran fire death family was not properly understood - ITV News   Serious case review criticises social services over Cwmbran   Cwmbran fire deaths: Carl Mills jailed at least 30 years for triple murder | Crime | The Guardian   Credits   Hosted and created by Clare Laxton @ladylaxton  Produced by Clare Laxton  Part of W!ZARD Studios @wizradio  Music from Tyee Brunt-Clifford Home | TBC.COMPOSER   If you’re enjoying the podcast and would like to support its running, please consider buying me a coffee buymeacoffee.com/clarelaxton     See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Episode 91 - The Edwards Family

    On 5 July 2018 13 year old Jennifer Edwards and her 15 year old brother Jack Edwards were shot and killed in Sydney in Australia by their father John who then took his own life. A man with a long and documented history of abuse of his partners and children, Edwards' final act of abuse was when his estranged wife - and mother of Jennifer and Jack - Olga took her own life in December 2018. A review found that the deaths of Jennifer and Jack - and therefore Olga - could have been prevented and made recommendations for improvements in the police and other agency's response to domestic abuse and coercive control. This is the story of the Edwards Family.   Information and support   Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans  Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA Women’s Aid Home - Women's Aid National Domestic Abuse Helpline UK 0808 2000 247 Mental health support USA Mental Health America | Homepage | Mental Health America Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline     References   Inquest into the deaths of John, Jack and Jennifer EDWARDS   Friends reveal Olga Edwards had 'no hope' after police failure to act on domestic violence reports - ABC News   ‘Litany of Errors’ Enabled Man to Kill His Children, Coroner Finds   John Edwards, who shot dead two children, should not have had gun licence, coroner finds - ABC News   Olga Edwards turned to Rosie Batty after children's Pennant Hills murder - Yahoo News Australia   Killer John Edwards wrote letters to family before shooting teenage children dead - ABC News   Mother of Sydney children murdered by father found dead | SBS News   Credits   Hosted and created by Clare Laxton @ladylaxton  Produced by Clare Laxton  Part of W!ZARD Studios @wizradio  Music from Tyee Brunt-Clifford Home | TBC.COMPOSER   If you’re enjoying the podcast and would like to support its running, please consider buying me a coffee buymeacoffee.com/clarelaxton   See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    In April 2007 Ciara Dunne and her two children 4 year old Lean and 3 year old Shania were killed by husband and father Adrian Dunne. He then took his own life.
