LIAM BARTLETT: Like clockwork, every Friday night at this prison for juveniles in Sydney, it’s the same scene. Kylie Fitter is freed for the weekend, into the hands of legally appointed carers. It’s hard to believe this timid young woman was involved in the most chilling murder imaginable. Kylie, hi. I’m Liam.
LIAM BARTLETT: Another weekend on the outside?
LIAM BARTLETT: It was 2001. Kylie was 15 years old. She was drawn into a psychotic, murderous attack by her father and brother on her mother, Fiona, a frenzied onslaught in the street in front of all the neighbours. Now, after five years in custody, Kylie says it’s time to let her out. Are you a murderer?
KYLIE FITTER: No. I’m not a murderer.
LIAM BARTLETT: For a year now, Kylie’s been allowed out on weekend release, under 24 hour supervision. The Johnston family kindly volunteered to take on that role, providing support and giving Kylie her own bedroom in their Sydney home. Kylie, this is a photo of your mum?
KYLIE FITTER: Yeah. Yep, that’s my mum.
LIAM BARTLETT: What sort of memories do you have of your mum?
KYLIE FITTER: Yeah, really special ones. Like, she was a beautiful woman, very caring and I’ll always treasure her for that. I take responsibility on my behalf of my role, but my father and brother were involved too and they were the ones who stabbed her.
LIAM BARTLETT: Her father and brother ambushed Fiona when she arrived home from night shift as a nurse. For legal reasons, they can’t be identified. The neighbours will never forget what they witnessed that morning in this quiet cul de sac in this semi rural suburb west of Sydney.
IAN CAMARSH: I Air Jordan 3s called the police. I was talking to the police and (bleep) and Kylie were still next to me.
LIAM BARTLETT: Fiona’s neighbour, Ian Camarsh, was also just home from night shift and watched the horror unfold.
IAN Air Jordan Future CAMARSH: The son came out, had these huge big knives in his hands. Run across the house and just went barrelling through the door at 100 mile an hour. And he crash tackled her out the front.
LIAM BARTLETT: What, just out of the front of this place?
IAN CAMARSH: Yes, out the front of the place, he crash tackled her.
LIAM BARTLETT: So you were literally what’s that, that’s about 50 . 60 feet away?
IAN CAMARSH: Yeah. And then they kicked the daylights out of her.
LIAM BARTLETT: Who was kicking her?
IAN CAMARSH: Every one of them the three of them they were just kicking the daylights out Air Jordan 12s of her. And I don’t mean like kicking a soccer ball, I mean really kicking the bejesus out of her.
LIAM BARTLETT: Fiona broke free several times, but was finally dragged to the ground in a front yard down the street.
KYLIE FITTER: I admit I did hold her legs for a few seconds, but I know I did not kick her and drag her.
LIAM BARTLETT: Because the judge in the case, Justice Barr, he said that he tended to believe the evidence of Mr Camarsh, the neighbour, didn’t he? The judge accepted that evidence.
KYLIE FITTER: I . I have no idea.
IAN CAMARSH: She helped kick the daylights out of her Air Jordan 19s mother.
IAN CAMARSH: Yeah, absolutely I saw it, yeah. I’ve got no problems at all. You know, I’ll go to my grave. And she also held her mother’s legs when Air Jordan 6 Rings when they stabbed her.
