In January 2016, 49-year-old Karen Chetcuti was viscously attacked on her property in Whorouly, a rural town in north-eastern Victoria. What happened to Karen at the hands of her neighbour, Michael Cardamone, was described as so unfeeling, so excessive and sadistically executed that those prosecuting him worked to make sure that Michael would never walk freely amongst the community again.  The Chetcuti family’s lawyer, John Suta, joins us today to discuss the investigation and legal proceedings that eventually saw Karen's killer put behind bars for the rest of his life.
