Halfway to Justice

Ken Turner tells the tragic story of what it was like to endure every parent’s worst nightmare. In the early hours of Sunday 6 June 1993, his twenty-two year old daughter, Shirree, was brutally murdered. *Halfway to Justice* describes Ken's experience during the police investigation into Shirree's murder, and his ongoing pursuit of justice after the acquittal of Shirree's alleged killer.

Gripping and heartfelt, this is a story about coping with loss, fighting for justice and reform in the court system, and the emotional trauma experience by family members when a loved one dies in vicious circumstances. *Halfway to Justice* is the true story of a father’s love for his daughter.

"I could hear Shirree's cries for help as she fought to hold onto her life. I imagined her terror... she must have had to draw on every ounce of guts and determination to fend off such a frenzied attack. She would have had to remain still, in life-threatening physical pain, pretending to be dead while her attacker escaped. Did her killer check if there was anything to link him to his crime, or did he leave in a panic? Did she realise she was dying?"
