The documentary series\u00a0is set to launch next year on ABC TV and ABC iview.<\/p>\n<p>From Media Stockade and Said and Done Productions, <em>The Family Court Murders<\/em> is directed by Chris Thorburn. International distribution is handled by Flame Distribution.<\/p>\n<p>Between 1980 and 1985, four murders, two shootings and five bombings were carried out by Leonard Warwick, who had been in a custody feud with his ex-wife.\u00a0Despite a mounting body of evidence against him, Warwick, dubbed the Family Court Murderer, was able to elude persecution for decades. Fascinated by the case, investigative journalist Debi Marshall has spent years delving into Warwick\u2019s life and his crimes, culminating in her book <em>The Family Court Murders<\/em>. Last year, thanks in part to Marshall\u2019s work, Warwick was convicted for offences including multiple murders and sentenced to life imprisonment.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0<em>The Family Court Murders<\/em> series, Marshall sets out to put together the final pieces to the puzzle with access to victims and their families, recreating events and using the expertise of a forensic criminal profiler and researcher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABC in Australia has commissioned the four-part investigative true-crime series The Family Court Murders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":16296,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1196,5567],"class_list":["post-16295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-abc-tv","tag-the-family-court-murders","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Family Court Murders Series for ABC TV - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/the-family-court-murders-series-for-abc-tv\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Family Court Murders Series for ABC TV - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"ABC in Australia has commissioned the four-part investigative true-crime series The Family Court Murders.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/the-family-court-murders-series-for-abc-tv\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-06-11T13:50:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-06-11T14:43:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/LOGO-ABC-COMMERCIAL-1019.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"360\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/the-family-court-murders-series-for-abc-tv\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/the-family-court-murders-series-for-abc-tv\/\",\"name\":\"The Family Court Murders Series for ABC TV - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-06-11T13:50:37+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-06-11T14:43:52+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/the-family-court-murders-series-for-abc-tv\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/the-family-court-murders-series-for-abc-tv\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/the-family-court-murders-series-for-abc-tv\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"The Family Court Murders Series for ABC TV\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
