Killer narcissists. Expert abusers. And the hidden red flags you need to know about amid an epidemic of violence against women. Kiss & Kill is the first podcast to take you inside some of Australia's most high-profile cases of intimate partner homicides and reveal dangerous patterns of behaviour we need to recognise before it's too late. In this 7News series, you'll hear interviews, expert analysis and reporting on the cases of Gerard Baden-Clay, Louis Mahony, Tyrone Thompson, Anthony Eriksen, Charles Evans and Borce Ristevski.

9: Risky Business
As parole eligibility looms for some of the nation’s most notorious wife killers, Crime Analyst Laura Richards warns there’s a direct link between the escalating rates of intimate partner homicides and rewarding them with early release. And Victorian Attorney-General Sonya Kilkenny responds to the Office of Public Prosecutions’ outrageous plea-bargaining record in killings of women.

8: Breakdown
How can you fix a problem when you don’t understand it? One of the biggest issues with domestic violence deaths is the government’s reluctance to count them properly. Another is the people dealing with them aren’t trained in recognising the capability and culpability of killer narcissists and/or expert abusers. We speak to the people with the power to change this and those doing the best they can within a broken system.

7: Borce Ristevski
Borce Ristevski is eligible for parole next year. At the time of sentencing, he was marketed by his defence team as being a good candidate for rehabilitation. However, he’s yet to show any signs of remorse or reveal how and why he killed his 41 year-old wife Karen. Like so many killer narcissists, he’s manipulative and intimidating, so is there hope his true nature will be recognised? And if so, will it be enough to keep him behind bars?

6: Charles Evans
Serving less than three years in jail after mowing down his partner in a car, Charles Evans has an extremely violent history that was ignored in court proceedings. His case highlights the different way a woman’s death at the hands of a partner is treated based on her social status.

5: Anthony Eriksen
Like Thompson, Eriksen savagely stabbed his former partner dozens of times and his actions were also only considered ‘mid-range violence’. Why are such brutal purposeful acts not considered more serious and what can be done to address the surging rate of intimate partner homicides in Australia?

4: Tyrone Thompson
Dubbed the worst domestic violence killing in NSW’s history, Tyrone Thompson stabbed his ex-girlfriend Mackenzie Anderson 78 times in front of her baby boy. Considered a high-risk offender, why was he given bail for ongoing breaches of an apprehended violence order and what’s the likelihood that someone with his history could be rehabilitated?

3: Louis Mahony
Louis Mahony thought he’d gotten away with murder and he would have, if not for a lone cop who saw him for what he was – Gerry Thornton ignored orders from above to follow his gut but paid a hefty price.

1: Gerard Baden-Clay Part 1
One of the nation’s most notorious killer narcissists, Gerard Baden-Clay had no record of violence. At his trial it was said he had no intent to kill his wife Allison. However, 10 years later, as the concept of coercive control is being realised, experts say not only was the murder on purpose, but he planned it. Kiss and Kill investigates why men are killing their partners more than ever before.
