Thank God we are seeing some sense and sensibility with the latest news reports.
To date, I have cringed in shame as Joan Harnum's anguished words of warning for others have been drowned out by drama queens and actors more concerned about their own few minutes worth of fame.
Why women love killers and crooks like Tony Mokbel, Chopper Read and Simon Gittany
RACHELLE Louise’s impassioned defence of her killer boyfriend seemed nothing short of bizarre.
He was sentenced to spend up to 26 years behind bars on February 11 for throwing his fiancee Lisa Harnum to her death from their high-rise city apartment.
Louise, 24, told 7 News she truly believed he had been wrongfully convicted and she would stand by her man.
Attaching herself to a convicted killer has proved lucrative, with Channel Seven reportedly paying Louise $150,000 for a two-part Sunday Night interview
But is money the only motivation?
What possesses women to fall in love with killers and incarcerated creeps?
Forensic psychologist Katherine Ramsland said women who married murderers gave several different reasons.
“Some believe they can change a man as cruel and powerful as a serial killer. Others ‘see’ the little boy that the killer once was and seek to nurture him. A few hoped to share in the media spotlight or get a book or movie deal,” she writes on her Psychology Today blog.
