Andrew Kalajzich is currently serving a 28 year jail sentence for conspiracy to murder. He maintains his innocence. Bill Vandenberg confessed to being the "Triggerman" and subsequently committed suicide in prison. In his confession, Vandenberg claimed he fired two bullets into Megan's head and then two bullets into Andrew's pillow a few centimetres from his head. He claimed he deliberately missed, so that it would look as if Andrew had also been a target. Was Andrew the target? Has an innocent man been convicted of this murder? Pippa Kay has researched this controversial case and finds many unanswered questions. She presents the evidence to the reader, using the 1994 Inquiry into doubts about Andrew Kalajzich's conviction as the setting in which the story of Megan's murder and the subsequent investigations are examined.
