In 2016, Newcastle chef Ben Batterham found a burglar, armed and high on drugs, lurking in his baby’s bedroom. He saw red, and pursued the intruder out of his house and down the street. There was a violent struggle as Ben attempted a citizen’s arrest. Moments later the burglar suffered a heart attack and died. Ben Batterham found himself arrested and charged with murder. And in 2019, a jury found Ben not guilty of the 2016 murder and manslaughter of home intruder Richard Slater. Now, Ben Batterham is set to get a payout from the New South Wales Government for wrongful prosecution by police.

On October 21, 2018, the vibrant life of 24-year-old Toyah Cordingley was brutally cut short in a crime that shook the paradise of Far North Queensland to its core. Toyah, a young woman known for her kindness and love for animals, went for a Sunday afternoon walk with her dog, Indy, on the isolated sands of Wangetti Beach, just north of Cairns. She never came home. This documentary episode of The Brief unravels the harrowing timeline of that day and the relentless, four-year international manhunt that followed. We explore the initial frantic search by Toyah’s family, the heartbreaking discovery of her body by her own father, and the shocking realisation that the prime suspect—nurse Rajwinder Singh—had fled the country just hours after the murder, leaving behind his wife and three children. For years, Singh remained a ghost, hiding out in the vast population of India while Toyah’s family lived in an agonising limbo. The investigation seemed to hit a wall until Queensland Police made a historic move: offering a record-breaking $1 million reward for information leading to his capture. It was a gamble that paid off. Within weeks, a tip-off led authorities to Singh’s hideout in New Delhi, ending his four years on the run. We take you inside the courtroom for the high-stakes trial where prosecutors pieced together a "mosaic of guilt" using DNA evidence, phone tracking data, and Singh’s own suspicious movements. You will hear the chilling audio recordings from a police sting operation where Singh admits to witnessing the crime but denies committing it—a defense the jury ultimately rejected. This is not just a story about a murder; it is a story of a community that refused to give up. From the "Justice for Toyah" campaign that plastered her face across Australia to the dogged determination of detectives who chased a killer across continents, witness the journey to the final guilty verdict. While a life sentence has been handed down, hear from Toyah’s mother, Vanessa, and father, Troy, on why true justice is impossible when they are forced to live in a world without their daughter.

The conservative media figure Charlie Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University, in a shocking assassination. Kirk, the 34-year-old founder of Turning Point USA and a "poster boy" for the MAGA movement, met his end in front of a live crowd, sending shockwaves through a deeply polarized America. Featuring expert analysis from Professor Robert Pape of the University of Chicago, this film places Kirk's murder in the context of a "slippery slope of political violence". Pape discusses how the targets of violence have expanded from elected officials to media influencers, drawing chilling parallels to the assassination of the United Healthcare CEO by Luigi Mangione. *American Martyr | The Brief* ► Subscribe: http://9Soci.al/chmP50wA97J ► WATCH Full Episodes on 9NOW: https://9now.app.link/uNP4qBkmN6 *MORE VIDEOS like this one* ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stJ0TvOdH4Y ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db5RjrrFo5A ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BciUOA7D80I FOLLOW 60 Minutes Australia ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/60minutes9 ► TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@60minutes9 ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/60Minutes9 ABOUT 60 Minutes Australia 60 Minutes Australia have been telling the world’s greatest stories for over 40 years.

Working out who abducted and then murdered three-year-old Cheryl Grimmer from a crowded Wollongong beach almost 50 years ago should be easy. Eighteen months after the sickening crime a man claiming to be the killer admitted it. He gave detectives a detailed confession. But surprisingly, that admission didn’t mean it was “case closed”. As Tara Brown reports, cursory police work and an extraordinary legal technicality has meant the confessed murderer has never been prosecuted for the crime, and remains free. For the Grimmer family the insult of knowing that, combined with the loss of their beautiful Cheryl, is as painful today as it ever was. But it hasn’t lessened their incredible resolve to fight for justice.
