8: Breakdown
How can you fix a problem when you don’t understand it? One of the biggest issues with domestic violence deaths is the government’s reluctance to count them properly. Another is the people dealing with them aren’t trained in recognising the capability and culpability of killer narcissists and/or expert abusers. We speak to the people with the power to change this and those doing the best they can within a broken system.

7: Borce Ristevski
Borce Ristevski is eligible for parole next year. At the time of sentencing, he was marketed by his defence team as being a good candidate for rehabilitation. However, he’s yet to show any signs of remorse or reveal how and why he killed his 41 year-old wife Karen. Like so many killer narcissists, he’s manipulative and intimidating, so is there hope his true nature will be recognised? And if so, will it be enough to keep him behind bars?

6: Charles Evans
Serving less than three years in jail after mowing down his partner in a car, Charles Evans has an extremely violent history that was ignored in court proceedings. His case highlights the different way a woman’s death at the hands of a partner is treated based on her social status.

5: Anthony Eriksen
Like Thompson, Eriksen savagely stabbed his former partner dozens of times and his actions were also only considered ‘mid-range violence’. Why are such brutal purposeful acts not considered more serious and what can be done to address the surging rate of intimate partner homicides in Australia?
