Cut Short: The Murders of Owen Dunn and Daniel Baird

This week on Seeing Red, Bethan tells the stories of Owen Dunn and Daniel Baird — two young men killed in separate knife attacks, years apart, but bound by the same devastating reality.

Bethan explores the circumstances surrounding their deaths and the unimaginable aftermath faced by the families left behind. But this episode isn’t just about loss — it’s about what came next.

From grief came action. Owen and Daniel’s families channelled their anger and heartbreak into foundations set up in their sons’ names, determined to reduce knife crime and protect other families from experiencing the same pain. Their legacies now stand in direct opposition to the violence that took them.

This is a difficult listen — but an essential one — about accountability, prevention, and the power of refusing to let a life be defined by the way it ended.
