On October 2024, 35-year-old Nikkita Azzopardi failed to attend a
family gathering in Melbourne, an absence so out of character it
immediately raised alarm. Within hours, her brothers Darren and
Sean would force their way into her home and make a discovery
that would change their lives forever.

Nikkita had been brutally killed by her partner, Joel Micallef.
Charged with murder, Micallef was later found not guilty due to
mental impairment, after forensic psychiatrists told the Supreme
Court of Victoria he was suffering acute psychosis at the time of
the killing.

In this episode, Nikkita’s brothers speak publicly about the
moments leading up to her death, the harrowing scene they
encountered, and the legal process that followed. They share
their frustration with a system they believe failed their sister,
and explain why they are now calling for urgent reform of
Victoria’s mental impairment laws.
