About this listen

In 1987, Vicki Cleary was murdered by her ex-partner, Peter Keogh.

In the first part of this series, Adam spoke with her brother Phil about the legal battle that followed — and the fight to abolish the provocation defence that allowed Keogh to serve just three years and eleven months for her killing. In this second part, Adam sits down with Vicki’s younger sister Lizzy Cleary, who was just 14 years old when her sister was killed.

Lizzy takes us back to the day she was pulled from school and told the news. She speaks candidly about the trauma that never leaves — the courtrooms where her sister’s character was attacked, the rage and fear when Keo was released without the family being told and the complicated relief when he later took his own life.
