Remembering Russell Manser: Voice of a survivor Pt.1

The team at I Catch Killers is deeply saddened by the passing of our good friend Russell Manser. Russell has helped so many people in his life. The courage that he showed to turn his life around and help other people was truly inspirational. You will be missed brother. Rest in peace.

This episode is from the archives, and was first published on 8 November 2021.

Russell Manser has an extensive criminal history. He robbed banks, escaped from custody, was a heroin addict and spent 23 years in gaol.

What wasn’t known about Russell is that he was the victim of institutionalised sexual abuse. He’s a tough guy who has the courage to talk about his experiences and encourage others to come forward.
