God Help Me - The Murder of Lisa Harnum

November 13, 2025 • Belinda Brady • Season 1 • Episode 32

Lisa Harnum came to Australia from Canada with a dream. A dream of making a life for herself, raising a family and living the fairytale. What she got instead was an unimaginable nightmare, full of abuse, control and isolation - all at the hands at the man who supposedly loved her - Simon Gittany.

Simon controlled everything in Lisa's life - what she wore, who she spoke to, where she worked out - but what he couldn't control was her fighting spirit, and when Lisa finally tried to leave, her nightmare ended in sheer terror.

Join Belinda over a cuppa or three as she takes a deep dive into the heartbreaking case of a beautiful woman who dreamed of a happy life with a caring partner, a dream that would sadly result in a tragic ending.
