Within a period less than five years after they first met, a horrific murder; caused by frenzied outrage took place when Mitchell stabbed Harold 186 times with an abattoir carving knife.

Based on a true story of infidelity and betrayal that takes one’s life and brings us to question the term ‘reasonable man’ in the eyes of the law.

The plea, sentence and argument at the trial caused outcry Australia wide and left indelible precedent enshrined in the chronicles the Common Law.
