The Road to Justice Australian Story : Season 26 Episode 21

She couldn’t speak but the extensive bruising across Kirra Mcloughlin’s face told her mother Alison Kirkness everything she needed to know. From the moment Alison saw her daughter brain-dead in a hospital bed, she knew the story concocted by Kirra's boyfriend Paul McDonald that she'd died from an antidepressant overdose didn’t stack up. For the past seven years, Alison has worked tirelessly to gather evidence proving that her daughter died at the hands of her boyfriend. The findings of a Queensland State Coroner recently confirmed these suspicions, concluding that Kirra had been killed by McDonald.
