The Murder of Kylie Maybury

Season 1, Ep. 24
•

6th of November 1984 Melbourne Cup Day


They say it’s ‘the race that stops a nation’. Australia’s most famous horse race, it’s also a world-class one that’s among the top sporting events in the world - sitting alongside other famous races like the Kentucky Derby in the USA and The Royal Ascot in England.

But in 1984 Melbourne Cup Day wasn’t a day to be celebrated by Kylie Maybury and her family.


Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss this heart-wrenching murder of an innocent young girl who was taken from her family far too young, and the subsequent arrest in 2016 of a vile old man named Gregory Keith Davies.
