157. The Killing of the Cat Queen

When the president of the Queensland Cat Protection Society, Kathleen Marshall, was murdered in a frenzied stabbing attack in 1998, everyone thought her arch rival and nemesis Virginia Houston was responsible.


But this proved to be a more complicated investigation, involving the two warring factions of the Cat Protection Society, who would stop at nothing to seize power. Forensic Science would eventually reveal the stranger than fiction truth of Australia’s answer to Tiger King.
