In 2022, we spoke with the Yann family about the 2003 murder of Marea Yann in her Healesville home. Despite a 2006 inquest and a trial, no one has been convicted, and the case remains unsolved.
Today, we revisit the story with Marea’s granddaughter, Esther, who shares recent developments and updates on the family’s ongoing fight for justice.
