Why The Whole Story Matters When Sex Crimes Go To Court.

NEXT WEEK
Terror Knocks in FNQ - A young man is woken in the dead of night by a terrfied woman at his door. He barricades the two of them inside against the men from whom she’s fleeing, none of whom he knows, and frantically calls police for help. Before help arrives, he’s forced to defend himself and the 000 operator listens helplessly as the men outside lose patience and invade his home. What follows is a tragedy.
Author Robyn Bowles sheds light on how this bizarre night really unfolded.
