Episode 31 - The Newman Family

Send us a textIn February 2016 Geraldine Newman and her two children Shannon and Shane were murdered by their estranged husband and father Paul Newman in Leeds. With a history of domestic abuse and having served a prison sentence for an assault on Geraldine, Paul Newman was released and monitored by police for two years but was left free to kill his whole family.  We step behind the headlines to share the profoundly tragic story of the Newman family, whose lives were cut short by a familiar yet menacing shadow of domestic abuse.This is the story of the Newman Family.  Information and support   Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans   National Domestic Violence Helpline UK 0808 2000 247   Women’s Aid www.womensaid.org.uk    Mental health support USA I'm looking for mental health help for myself | Mental Health America (mhanational.org)   Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org)    References  No way of knowing hammer-wielding father would kill his wife and two children, authorities say | Daily Mail Online Police defend dealings with killer Paul Newman after triple murder in Allerton Bywater (yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk) Harrowing details of triple murder of wife and children in Allerton Bywater - Leeds Live (leeds-live.co.uk) Allerton Bywater murders: Silence for Castleford mother and two children (wakefieldexpress.co.uk) Allerton Bywater man killed wife and children - BBC News Geraldine Newman murder: Husband 'given licence to kill after being freed from prison' - Mirror Online Man murdered wife and children before travelling 180 miles to commit suicide - updates from the inquest - Leeds Live (leeds-live.co.uk) Credits  Hosted and created by Clare Laxton @ladylaxton  Produced by: Clare Laxton   Lore and CrimeLore and Crime is a spine-chilling podcast that unearths historical dark tales.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showKiller in the family podcast is a total labour of love.
