  • 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.

    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!

    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.

      ​@@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.)

    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.
