How can people cross the line between rational behaviour and cold blooded murder? How could a mother kill her own child? How could a man kill his pregnant wife and toddler with a spear gun? Could parental pressure provoke a student to kill his entire family? And how could anyone think they could get away with assasinating a political rival? COLD BLOODED MURDER is a chilling look at the facts around some of Australia s worst murder cases and offers insights into the men and women who committed the crimes. The accounts range from the assassination of John Newman to the bodies in the barrels in Snowtown from the calculated killing of Dr Margaret Tobin to the bloody slaying of Frankfurt Arkell from Kathleen Folbigg's murder of her four babies to the dead woman in the boot - the Maria Korp case and from the Wales-King murders in Melbourne to the Sef Gonzales' slaughter of his parents and sister. In this book, Malcolm Brown and other award-winning journalists from around Australia takes us deep into the minds of some notorious killers - and show how sometimes even a simple chain of events can lead to murder.
Gripping accounts of some of Australia's worst murder cases - and insights into the men and women who committed the crimes.
Why do some people cross the threshold from rational behaviour to cold blooded murder?
What could motivate a mother to kill her own children? How could a man kill his own pregnant wife and toddler with a spear gun? How could someone kill a political rival - and think they could get away with it?
All these questions and many more are answered in this collection of the most monstrous cases to hit the headlines in Australia in recent times. Well-known journalist and author Malcolm Brown goes into cases such as the Snowtown murders; the killing of Dr Margaret Tobin, Maria Korp, Melbourne's society murders, and the frightful case of Kathleen Folbigg killing her own four young children.
These are not only gripping accounts of the terrible crimes themselves - but they look into what would lead someone to commit them.
