Patricia Kierans was 54. She had walked away from a 33-year marriage, started again, and the day before she died she chose her new partner's door over any other. For months she had been telling people she was frightened. She showed neighbours the shotgun hidden under the mattress. She left her home because of it.
This episode is the story of what happened that morning in a town where everyone knows everyone, and of the 7-hour armed siege that followed in the Square Bar that night. It is also the story of a warning that no one had the power to act on until it was too late.
Content note: this episode covers domestic homicide, a firearm and an armed siege. There is no graphic detail, but please take care while listening.
