Killer Con Woman Brenda Nicholas and Melbourne Mick Sayers...
Brenda Nicholas was a con artist and thief who preyed on elderly people. She often pretended to be a tarot reader named “Lady Monica,” who gained their trust before taking them for all they were worth. In 2011, she and her ragtag gang of petty criminals stabbed 70-year-old Navy veteran and two-time Purple Heart recipient Patrick Fleming to death, just so they could steal his valuable coin collection.
Lovable rogue Michael "Melbourne Mick" Sayers was always looking for the next sure thing. This chronic punter had a life-long pathological addiction to gambling. Mick had it so bad, he would bet on anything and do whatever it took to feed his habit, including race fixing, armed robbery, drug dealing and murder. Drinking buddies with the likes of Neddy Smith and Graham Henry, after the fixing of Fine Cotton, in the end all he had to wager was the last thing of value he had... his life.

Bloody Murder thanks Sudio Headphones. Sudio want to revolutionize the way people see headphones, as not just a tech device but also an accessory. Currently, the headphones market can offer you one of two things: style or tech. The fashionable ones tend to lack the proper sound quality, while the high-tech variations are bulky and not design-oriented. Sudio aim bridge that gap. While emphasizing their modern, Scandinavian design, Sudio also provide a product that matches the quality of even the highest-rated headphones on the market for a fraction of the cost. And the Tolvs are the bees knees. With their wireless design, minimalistic charging case, and microphones on both sides, Tolv is the perfect way to listen to podcasts or music. Their sophisticated earbuds hold 7 hours of battery life while the portable case offers 4 additional charges for an astonishing 6 days of standby life. Tolv have also introduced a new graphene driver for intense and clear sound quality. And they feature the latest Bluetooth 5.0 technology compatible with IOS and Android, and up to 15 meters of range.
