S09E03 | Craig Keogh | The Murder of Jane Hings

In this episode, I tell the story of Craig Keogh and Jane Hings.

On September 24, 2017, 72-year-old Jane Hings was sexually assaulted and murdered by 25-year-old Craig Keogh in her Fleckney bungalow.

Craig then burgled Jane's home and sold what he could to help fund a lavish weekend of spending.

He was arrested two days later in his caravan and subsequently handed a life sentence on March 20, 2018, with a minimum term of 32 years.
