The Cairns Grenade Murders Part 1
Forgotten Australia - A podcast by Forgotten Australia
Categories:
On a hot night in January 1946, two women were cold-bloodedly murdered with a grenade in the centre of Cairns. In this three-part special episode - based on the original police murder file - we take a deep dive into this callous crime, whose solution was frustrated not only by the underworld’s code of silence but also by the conduct of Queensland’s most infamously corrupt cop.Parts Two & Three will be available next week via regular podcast platforms.
