description: Ken Turner tells the tragic story of what it was like to endure every parent’s worst nightmare. In the early hours of Sunday 6 June 1993, his twenty-two year old daughter, Shirree, was brutally murdered. Halfway to Justice describes Ken's experience during the police investigation into Shirree's murder, and his ongoing pursuit of justice after the acquittal of Shirree's alleged killer.Gripping and heartfelt, this is a story about coping with loss, fighting for justice and reform in the court system, and the emotional trauma experience by family members when a loved one dies in vicious circumstances. Halfway to Justice is the true story of a father’s love for his daughter."I could hear Shirree's cries for help as she fought to hold onto her life. I imagined her terror... she must have had to draw on every ounce of guts and determination to fend off such a frenzied attack. She would have had to remain still, in life-threatening physical pain, pretending to be dead while her attacker escaped. Did her killer check if there was anything to link him to his crime, or did he leave in a panic? Did she realise she was dying?"
