As many implore the families of the victims to "let it go", a shocking revelation reignites their fight for a second inquest. In a stunning final twist - it’s revealed the Coroner who led the first inquest did refer Dean Webber to the Director of Public Prosecutions suspecting he may have committed an indictable offence. Though prosecutors found no reasonable prospects of success in charging Dean Webber with Murder, and hopes for a second inquest were denied, the Davy and Christensen families remain defiant.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Retired Coroner David Heilpern joins the podcast with an independent and expert legal view - and a damning assessment: the inquest failed in its purpose to get to the truth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Never heard by the public until now - Dean Webber’s police interview, in the hours after the fatal stabbings, raises more confusing questions about what exactly happened.

With no police or paramedics in sight, fear and confusion collide in a deadly confrontation. Tom Davy and Corey Christensen are stabbed by Dean after forcing their way into the home to get to Candice Locke. Dean makes another frantic call to triple zero, but by the time help arrives it’s far too late. Dean’s arrest is recorded on bodycam, capturing a wild, bloody scene. And, for the first time, one of the first officers there that night is speaking out and explains the shocking reason for the delayed emergency response.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Just after midnight, 19-year-old Dean Webber dials triple zero. An injured woman he’s never met before - Candice Locke - had run to his home for help. Within minutes, more strangers arrive at his house looking for Candice. As tensions escalate, Dean’s frantic phone call recordings capture the fear in real time - until, terrified for his life, he reaches for a knife just as the triple zero operator hangs up on him. But how did it come to this, when just hours earlier almost everyone involved was celebrating the NRL grand final at a backyard party? The answer almost certainly lies in an ill-fated buggy ride - the moment that set the deadly and baffling events into motion. The night is pieced together through police interviews, phone calls and bodycam recordings. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
