episode 106: Inside The Mind Of The Hoddle Street Killer
On a Sunday night in August 1987, 18-year-old Julian Knight unleashed terror on the streets of Melbourne.
It was just after 9:30pm when the recently discharged army cadet opened fire on innocent civilians, murdering seven people and seriously injuring 19 more.
After the incident, a group of psychologists were tasked with analysing Knight to try to understand the motivations of such a callous, unprovoked attack. Our guest today was part of that team.
