Case 325: The Gilham Family
🕑 Added 2025-08-09 07:40:44 +0000 UTC23-year-old Jeff Gilham showed up on his neighbours doorstep in the early morning hours of August 28 1993 with a shocking claim. His older brother Christopher Gilham had just killed their parents, Stephen and Helen, and set their bodies on fire. In return, Jeff had stabbed Christopher to death.
The tragic news left residents of the Sydney suburb of Woronora in disbelief as they struggled to comprehend how this could happen to such a normal, happy family. But as the years went by, it emerged that all was not as it seemed.

Ok so listened to this again and Im convinced Christopher did it. Jeffery’s account and reactions check out imo.

This was a fantastic episode which still has me thinking, what really happened and who is guilty? As is mentioned elsewhere on this thread, I think only those involved truly know. It seems strange when confronted with that awful scene, your first reaction is to attack and kill your brother. Great work Casefile peeps.

There is no way that Jeff DIDNT do it right??

I’m starting to think some commenters are just rage baiting

Amazing episode. I’m left very conflicted about the entire case and you all did an amazing job at laying out both possible accounts.
