Forgotten Australia: The Cairns Grenade Murders Part 3

We're taking a little break over Summer and using this time to spotlight some of our favourite true-crime podcasts. This week we're showcasing Michael Adam's Forgotten Australia, with his three part Cairns Grenade Murders series. Part 3: With the accused murderer of Holly Murphy and Kathleen Brown set to go to trial in April 1946, there's a series of shocking secret developments, including a bombshell letter that makes disturbing claims against Queensland's boys in blue. Via the original police murder file - and from information from a descendant of one of the men involved - we explore what might've really happened.
