Triads, murder and hunting terrorists: Dr Dave Gawel Pt.1

I Catch Killers with Gary Jubelin

Two weeks. Four murders. That was Dr Dave Gawel’s reality early in his career. He spent three days chasing a gang of street kids who attacked a child with a sledgehammer and murdered a young woman in a paddock. That woman was Janine Balding. On this episode of I Catch Killers, the counter terrorism expert recalls his early police days, and explains how he spent his career stopping crimes before they occurred.
