Summary

16-year-old Sasha Marsden was looking forward to the rest of her life. She was studying childcare, she had a loving family and a boyfriend who adored her. But in 2013, Sasha's life was taken from her in the most evil way, and her killer, David Minto was convicted of her murder. But this isn't the end of the story. In this episode, we hear from Sasha's sister Katie Brett, who despite a conviction, is yet to feel like justice has been served. Because there is a chance, her killer could be released and given an opportunity that Sasha will never have - the opportunity to live his life as a free man. This is Real.
