Reprise — Murder On The Dance Floor — Part Two

<p><strong>Season Five </strong>is just around the corner. We're kicking off with an episode called <strong>Blue Murder On The Golden Mile.</strong> It’s a killer tale set in 1926 and it takes us inside what was then the most intensive manhunt and homicide trial in Western Australian history. One of the main characters in <strong>Blue Murder On The Golden Mile</strong> is a brilliant barrister named Arthur Haynes. I featured Haynes two years ago in the episode <strong>Murder On The Dance Floor</strong>, which was set in 1925 in Perth.</p><p>So, ahead of Season Five, I've dusted off this two-parter in case you haven’t heard the story — and want a bit of an idea of just how formidable Arthur Haynes was a defence lawyer. Here's the gist of Part Two:</p><br><p>There was no doubt Audrey Jacob had shot Cyril Gidley dead in front of&nbsp;hundreds of people during a charity dance at Perth’s Government House.&nbsp;But why had she killed him and was she guilty of murder? The final&nbsp;instalment of this episode takes us inside one of Australia’s most&nbsp;extraordinary trials—and beyond to a second murder, the tragic downfall&nbsp;of a business titan and across the world to the Cuban Missile Crisis,&nbsp;Vietnam War and Carter White House.</p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
