Title: Win 1/5 copies of “Murder on Easey Street: Melbourne’s most notorious cold case Post by: culturebird on Monday 11 March 2019, 01:14:49 pm http://www.goodreadingmagazine.com.au/competition/form/index/product_id/296483
Win one of five copies of Murder on Easey Street: Melbourne’s most notorious cold case by Helen Thomas valued at $32.99 each. One summer night in January 1977, Suzanne Armstrong and Susan Bartlett were savagely murdered in their house on Easey Street, Collingwood – stabbed multiple times while Suzanne’s 16-month-old baby slept in the next room. Although police established a list of 130 ‘persons of interest’, the case became one of the most infamous unsolved crimes in Melbourne. Forty years on, journalist Helen Thomas has re-examined the cold case, chasing down new leads and talking to members of the Armstrong and Bartlett families, the women’s neighbours on Easey Street, detectives and journalists. Why has the Easey Street murderer never been found, despite a million-dollar reward for information? Was the investigation mishandled? Did the women know their killer, or were their deaths due to a random, frenzied attack? Could the murderer have killed again? This gripping account addresses these questions and more as it examines one of Australia’s most disturbing and compelling criminal mysteries. |
