In this first episode of a two-part series, Real Crime with Adam Shand examines the deadly risks women face when leaving violent relationships.

Adam speaks with former federal MP and long-time advocate Phil Cleary about the 1987 murder of his sister, Vicki Cleary, by her ex-partner — a killing that exposed deep flaws in Australia’s legal system, including the now-abolished provocation defence that reduced her killer’s charge to manslaughter.

Cleary reflects on decades of campaigning for justice, the ongoing epidemic of domestic violence, and why separation remains the most dangerous time for women. He also shares deeply personal memories of Vicki — a vibrant young woman whose life and legacy continue to fuel a national fight for change.
