Late night on 4 February this year Emma Pattison and her seven year old daughter Lettie were killed by the person who should have loved and protected them the most – husband and father George Pattison. He then took his own life. The media reaction to this story was one of the reasons I wanted to do this podcast and shine a light on the reality of familicide.
This is the story of Emma and Lettie Pattison.
