Killing Love

This powerful, unforgettable and uplifting story is one part wrenching family memoir, and one part inspirational journey towards healing and forgiveness but most of all, its an unputdownable journey through one familys tragedy and how they refused to let it define them. On the day of Rebecca Poulsons 33rd birthday, her father, niece and nephew were murdered. The murderer had been part of her family; her brother-in-law, Neung, the father of the children. Killing Love is Rebeccas journey through homicide; grief, the police investigations, the media interest, the court cases, the moments of great despair and the healing. It is a story of individual tragedy and a familys strength, but it is also a story of a communitys attitude to family violence. As a reluctant warrior for those who cannot speak for themselves, Rebecca talked to the NSW State Premier and politicians, on multiple TV shows and to print journalists in the hope that the mistakes made by the police force, DOCS, the legal system and solicitors will never be made again. Rebeccas contact with policy makers has been nothing short of history-making, and her story has directly influenced domestic violence laws in the state. Neung left a note for Rebeccas family; he hoped that he would destroy them. This is the story of how he didnt.
