The Mysterious Murder of Kathleen Marshall

On Sunday, March 1, 1998, the lifeless body of veterinarian Kathleen Marshall was discovered in her veterinary clinic in Wilston, Australia. The crime scene indicated a struggle had taken place, and Kathleen had been brutally stabbed 52 times. The investigation focused on two suspects, Andrew Fitz Herbert and Virginia Houston, both members of the Cat Protection Society of Queensland, an organization to which Kathleen belonged. Andrew's DNA was found at the crime scene, leading to his conviction and subsequent release on parole after serving 16 years in prison. The case raised questions about the reliability of DNA evidence and conflicting witness accounts regarding the timing of the murder.
