The off-duty cop who saved two kids from their dad: Steph Bochorsky Pt.1

 

Stephanie Bochorsky had only been in her new Perth home for two weeks when she heard the scream: 'He's setting my kids on fire,' on her street. 

In this episode of I Catch Killers, the ex-army, former police officer and Star of Courage recipient joins down Gary Jubelin to tell the horrific true story of the night she ran into a burning house off-duty to save two children from their own father.

Step walks through the rescue minute-by-minute - confronting the attacker with a jerry can, pulling a three-year-old engulfed in flames from her cot, and dragging her seven-year-old sibling from bed as he pours petrol over her.

She also opens up about life before that night - joining the army and police, her first sudden death case, and the misogyny she experienced as a young female cop.
