- On October 12th 1988, something tragic happened on Walsh Street in South Yarra. But why did it happen?
I look at this unsolved murder case and the locations of where the relevant events took place.

Just watched your video and it brings back a lot of memories. I marched at Angela Taylor's funeral, and I went through the academy and graduated with Steve, lovely guy. Incidentally, his squad leader was Des Campbell who was convicted of murder for pushing his wife off a cliff in 2005.
Jansen's was on the second house on left when you pull in the court .
Oh, hinch vs Wendy pierce was wonderful!
😗
I have heard of the Walsh street murder but was never able to piece together what exactly had happened!
What perhaps was the ultimate disappointment was to see the grave of Steven Tynan almost forgotten...
Thanks for doing this video!
Thanks Ivano, I actually thought about cleaning up the area of Steven's grave but ultimately thought... nah, show the reality of it.

@@PaulHagl You have a point there!
Extremely sad but yes it does send the message.... :/
A guy my friend was getting some weed off him, but he said oh im going to see my girlfriend who lived in Walsh Street he said her dad was a cop omfg 😳😳he would get the weed the next day then we seen the news the next day ... omg, we freaked out. 😳
Great vid Paul! Did you know there was also a TV mini series released in 2010 called “Killing Time” that focused on the lawyer of the Walsh St killers Andrew Fletcher. David Wenham played the main role with some other big names like Colin Friels and John Wood also in it. Definitely worth checking out if you can find it.
I wasn't aware of that series. I'll look out for it. I definitely like those actors. Thanks for watching 👍
Yeah I found my copy by chance at a Dixon’s store but I just checked and found a copy for sale online. I’ll send you the link.
*The criminal lawyer is named Andrew Fraser not Fletcher. Great video Paul. I love the content.*
Agree, it was a very good series.
That’s a great series, up there with the first season of Underbelly.
Love your videos, another great exploration of the tangible aspects of Melbourne history
Great video.
Great concept too.
I'm pretty sure the locations have changed a huge amount. Must be hard to pinpoint everything.
Thanks for such an interesting video Paul.
As if the coppers were goodie goodies back then probably the same today 😂
The corrupt detectives were and still are a bad lot! And Force Command gutless and / or just as corrupt! Nothing changes!
Amazingly the gun didn't have any fingerprints.
That's quite a feat after he was working on a lawnmower, a few minutes before.
Two officers present at the killing said years later it was planted. Reason given for not speaking up at the time is because they were scared shitless of the Armed Robbery Squad.
Ready interesting thank you so very much again paul 👍🏻
whatabout the corupt police that shot that bloke buying a spark plug. shot a bloke with no gun . very poor.
Firstly he had a weapon but yes some shootings were not justified. Secondly unethical does not be corrupt. Know the difference.
@@tombeck1872 It's widely known that the firearm was planted on Jensen after he was shot dead.
The reason given for those present not speaking up about this is because both criminals and Police feared the Armed Robbery Squad, who were well known executioners. (One example is the killing of Gary Abdallah just before this. He is on camera telling his lawyer that he'd heard he was gonna "get knocked" by them.)
@@benjijarmanyep. Robbery squad were notorious,
Really interesting, thanks Paul.
Just sent you a heads-up email Paul :)
@@stooartbabay thanks for that.
The commodore was to be pushed down to the airle staff college to take this place out. Only work this out 3 months ago.
October is a pretty shit month for Vicpol....
Michael Scanlan chestnut gelding did 307 kilometres in the week of the death of Michael Scanlan at Stringybark creek. The key wittness for Walsh st was thrown into Stringybark creek at the spot where Michael Scanlan died.. 110 years and 14 days before Walsh st.....
A while ago i was walking around south Yarra, and the Walsh street sign, at the Toorak road end was gone .
Think the armed robbery squad would have taken one of them out at one point regardless. Just so happened it was him on that day. Great vid mate👍
The TV series Phoenix and Janus cover the story more closely
Like you I was only a teenager when all this happened. To young for it to really mean that much to me.
I'd assume that if Victor was convicted for the murders of both officers, he would spend the rest of his life in gaol. So in some sense, him being acquitted of those crimes allowed him to be vulnerable during Melbourne's gangland wars. Ironically Victor himself was gunned down while in car.
Quick question, does the Victorian police force have the lowest conviction rate of its own members for corruption for perverting the course of justice.
Yes, a law unto itself in particular amongst the corrupt in the CIU and the spineless and corrupt in Command!
@@simplesimon4717 so the reality is Victorian police force are the true Sovereign citizens of the state
Yes you've got the luxury of not nowing what I no it was senior Sargent Paul Higgins the enfircer
Heya. Went today. The medal thing isn’t there but Steven’s mum Wendy is now
Corruption at its best
Thank you
i never forget this paul it is shock everyone
Excellent
My birthday is on October 12. I would have been 12 years old on this day. I knew nothing about the killings until years later. Can't remember what I did on m12thth birthday. RIP young men
That's so sad for those young policemen. Caught up in a very corrupt timeline of Melbourne's history. Innocent... so very sad.❤❤
Perhaps you could say, yes there are crims... but worse, there were crooked cops who brought this upon these innocent police.
Is the Wendy Pierce interview clip on youtube somewhere?

@@PaulHagl I meant the police interview clip, but cheers!
I agree with Derryn about Wendy
Newton's Third Law: that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What if Jenson and Pierce did not do violent armed hold ups and murders??
Every action has a reaction. If all the violent criminals didn't attack police in the 1980s, maybe on the occasion JENSEN died they may not have been so keen to shoot.
The crook lived on the edge and fell off.
@slangworld.official
Serves him right for holding up the tab.
@@stephenfrancismoran6729 Jensen is not responsible for the actions of other criminals and the police have a clear set of justifications when it comes to to the use of lethal force to be applied to each individual situation. Precedence or keenness doesn’t come into it.
Organised crime can only exist with endemic corruption. Quote Jim O'Brien. Corrupt detectives and high-ranking police!
@@stephenfrancismoran6729 When you join a group of corrupt hypocrites, you put yourself in that position. You gotta make better choices.
Go to the spots where neighbours was filmed the houses are at Ramsay st but in reality it’s at pin oak ct in Vermont South
I live behind it, kind of
Sadly Wendy, played police off a break, and they fell for it.
All quota-hire usurpers will reap what they sow.
I never heard Derrin Hinch so passionate!!!
Shame, Shame, Thats Life...
My dad was a magistrate for 14yrs, he was supposed to be working at the old Melbourne Magistrates Court on the day of the Russell st bombing.
Can you please make a video on the Kelly Cahill ufo case?
It was a set up by police
Are you saying the police executed their own colleagues in order to frame the people who were charged for it? Wow, brilliant theory man.
You mean a cover up.
A bit like Chuck Bennett in court
Derryn Hinch...what a legend
I’ll bet you 20 bucks that those two police officers had a problem with other police officers, and they were set up in this whole thing
Go for it, Derryn!!! About time somebody put that waste of space in her box!!!
Jenson lagged Col Stratton and Lance Chee and his sister.. read the statements in Jika…
Take a free D view If you know the situation, you will come up with the answer. A lot deeper than people think . RIP Graham, Jade, Gary .
When a known armed robber points a gun at police and drives off to avoid arrest, do you expect the police to let him go or shoot them?
The word of a twice convicted bent detective and crooked lawyer mate doesn't cut the mustard.
Paul higgins senior sargnt of pahran aka the enforcer brion skull murphys partner paul highins was supposed to be in the walsh Street a gun went missing from the pahrans police station gun safe and higgins was supposed to be on that 000
Is Hinch still with us
yes he is.
Yes he's a liver transplanted alcoholic, nothing but a drunk .... 🪰
Often wondered how he got an organ transplant, when so many others wait years, or die.
@@265hemi7 He swore he would never drink again, but couldn't help himself wiping away his childhood.... I'm looking at getting a transplant & I don't even drink anymore,...
Derryn Hinch is a Legend❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂
He's not even an Aussie.
The only people who were upset at gangsters being gunned down were other gangsters - the general populace couldn’t care less that certain crims were ending up on slabs at the morgue….
Nonsense, he was innocent, the same thing could happen to them.
@@ToyotaGuy1971 if you wanna play outside the law and rob banks - then don’t moan if you get whacked by the cops - you can’t go around actively being a criminal and then say “oh that’s not fair” if others bend or break the law
More to the story .. less than 24hrs later there was a head on car accident 150 meters away ..
And people knew of events in advance .. must of been psychic.
Neither were accidents
Firstly its not the Police Force, its Victoria Police and secondly its Victoria despite the 'attacks' you refer to happening in Melbourne as Melbourne is both a city and suburb. Be accurate if you want people to watch your videos as much better productions have been produced so make an effort.
I'm pretty sure Victoria Police is a police force. Also the suburbs that aren't called Melbourne, 9,993 km2 of the metropolitan area are all part of greater Melbourne. This seems a bit nit picky to me but I will take your advise to be more accurate.
Mate, get a life.
Paul Higgins pahrans Sargent of police the enforcer he told me that he was supposed to be in the Walsh st so a gun went missing from the gun safe at paran police station he got a phone call to give the job for Walsh st and to save his own ass mayby talk to skull Murphy the deputy chief of the Victoria police now it was him who shot jenso he told me they planted the gun
