Anzac Day Friday, 25 April 2014


John Pearson said it was a bleak irony that his brother Martin was killed on a day that was all about mateship and courage.


“This is an act of supreme cowardice and I can’t believe somebody’s conscience hasn’t got the better of them and they won’t be struck by an act of guilt,” 


“I can’t believe the extreme irony of someone leaving a vet by the side of the road. Being left for dead on Anzac Day, a day we remember mateship and self-sacrifice, and he was left as roadkill.”


Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the tragic hit and run death of a well-respected vet and family man, and the police investigation that uncovered the culprit, and another strange death he was connected with from six years earlier.
