Description

The Two Intruders For two decades, Canberra residents have become familiar with signs asking: Who killed Irma? It's a question that stems from a 1999 home invasion, a violent search for cash and valuables which left 72-year-old Irma Palasics dead and her husband Gregor badly beaten. Police have been searching for the two intruders, who left with more than $30,000. Rewards were offered and the Palasics family never gave up hope the people responsible would face justice. Now, Melbourne men Steve Fabriczy and Joseph Vekony are on trial for Irma's murder. They both say they're not responsible for her death. In The Case Of the Two Intruders, Stephen Stockwell is joined by veteran ABC Court Reporter Elizabeth Byrne and senior ABC journalist James Vyver. The Case Of The Wheelie Bin Murder. Killed by a drug overdose, then cut up and put in a wheelie bin. That's what prosecutors allege Sheree Glastonbury did to her partner, 55-year-old Geoffrey McLean. The Case of the Wheelie Bin Murder will follow the murder trial of Sheree Glastonbury and three co-accused, including Sheree's current partner, Mark Murphy. Mark's twin brother Peter and his partner Lynette are defending charges of assisting an offender for their alleged involvement in disposing of Geoffrey's body. All four deny the allegations. ABC Adelaide reporter Eva Blandis will join Stephen Stockwell to unpack the evidence in court throughout the trial. The Case Of is your eyes and ears inside the courtroom for Australia's biggest trials, unpacking major trials recently heard in court and cases in the headlines. This podcast will explain how it all works and answer your questions along the way. The Case Of is the follow-up to the hit podcast Mushroom Case Daily, and all episodes of that show will remain available in the back catalogue of The Case Of. The response to Mushroom Case Daily was overwhelming, with more than 8,000 emails from listeners, many of them noting how the coverage had given them unprecedented insight into Australia's criminal judicial system. We decided to convert the podcast into an ongoing trial coverage feed to continue delivering on this front, following cases that capture the public's attention. Additional seasons of The Case Of include: Toyah's Murder, which follows the trial of 41-year-old Rajwinder Singh, charged for the murder of 24-year-old Toyah Cordingley, who was killed when she went for a walk with her dog on one of north Queensland's idyllic beaches, in 2018. Kumanjayi Walker, a six-part series revisiting the murder trial and coronial inquest that followed the police shooting of a young Walpiri man in Yuendumu, in 2019. Easey St Murders, which follows the committal hearing for alleged killer Perry Kouroumblis, who police believe attacked Suzanne Armstrong and Susan Bartlett in their Melbourne terrace house. Snowtown Parole, which follows serial killer James Vlassakis's parole proceedings. Romance Scam, which follows the trial and appeal of Perth woman Donna Nelson, who was charged with drug trafficking in Japan. Croc Wrangler, which follows the reality star and Northern Territory celebrity Matt Wright, charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice related to the investigation of a fatal helicopter crash. Mushroom Lunch continues to follow all proceedings related to Erin Patterson's triple murder conviction in July 2025.
