"They Should Never Have Let Me Out" - The Murder of Jill Meagher

November 27, 2025 • Belinda Brady • Season 1 • Episode 33

29 year old Jill Meagher, was just like any other young woman on a Friday night. She was out having drinks in a local bar for a friends birthday, and like many of us, made the decision to make the short walk home. She was not seen alive again.

What happened to Jill, an Irish woman making a life for herself in Australia, in a Melbourne laneway on a cold September night in 2012 was nothing short of a nightmare and should never have happened. But it did, and it sent shockwaves through both Australia and Ireland, and brought our parole system into question.

Join Belinda for a coffee - or Irish coffee - or two as she dives into the heartbreaking case of Jill Meagher. An absolute must listen.

*** LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED - This episode discusses sexual assault.
