Crime Review Weekly - 20 September 2026

🎙️ NEW KILLER KONTENT EPISODE

This week on Killer Kontent, we’re covering three huge crime stories — from an international drug investigation involving a Thai flight attendant, to Sydney’s escalating gangland violence, and the latest extraordinary developments in the Lucy Letby case.

✈️ First, we look at the case of Meena Kondo, the 26-year-old Thai Airways flight attendant arrested at Melbourne Airport after Australian authorities allegedly discovered more than a kilogram of heroin concealed in luggage she was carrying.

🔫 Then we take a deep dive into Sydney’s Gangland Wars. The violence has taken a frightening turn, with inexperienced young recruits allegedly being hired to carry out shootings and innocent people being killed in cases of mistaken identity.

🇬🇧 And there has been another major development in the Lucy Letby case. The long-awaited Thirlwall Inquiry has delivered its final report, finding there was a “complete failure” to protect babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital.

🍿 Then it’s Crime Pop Culture…

🎧 We review the brilliant new ABC investigative podcast Unravel: Lies in Lismore. Journalist Richard Baker goes back inside the unsolved death of 25-year-old German backpacker Simone Strobel, whose body was discovered concealed beneath palm fronds in Lismore in 2005.

🇳🇿 We head across the ditch for Bust Up, a new Kiwi crime drama following cops Deb and Mihi — former lovers who suddenly find themselves working together again in the small town of Waitote.

📺 And finally, on HBO Max, we discuss A Killer Story — a fascinating three-part true-crime documentary about Dana Chandler, convicted of murdering her ex-husband Mike Sisco and his partner Karen Harkness in Kansas in 2002.

🎙️ Killer Kontent — the crimes making headlines, the cases you need to know about, and the crime shows, documentaries and podcasts worth your time.
