Unfortunate discovery I made and just thought this was interesting. Image source is: Jill Matthews Collection, Australian Queer Archives via State Library SA. The black and white image of him for comparison is from 1972 at the inquest into the death of Dr George Duncan.

Are you sure it's him? Or is it just some dude with sunglasses?

[u/Ohmygodweforkingsuck → u/thirteenfootdog]

Yeah, that does not look like the same guy if you’re looking at the non-sunglasses parts.

His coroners report is available online right now. Very interesting how they treat it, kind of like “not wasting any more resources on this man”

[u/Betterthanbeer → u/Ebright_Azimuth]

This is how I learned he was dead. Today just got better.

[u/BigChampionship7962]

It was almost like the person you would never suspect and makes you wonder how many others were involved and if they are still alive today 🧐

SAPOL have their names. But in grand SA legal system tradition, they’ve fought hard to cover them up

[u/Captain_Coco_Koala → u/Top_Conference_477]

From what I have read/heard SAPOL are just as frustrated as the general public are. They simply don't have enough evidence to conviction so are keeping their powder dry in case a breakthrough occurs.

He also happened to be there on the night Dr George Duncan died after being thrown into the Torrens by the police

Mother-in-law's ex worked as a screw at Yatla in the early 2000's, and he reckoned BSVE was the creepiest cat in the whole place. Cool, but disturbing pic.

Huh?

[u/faeriekitteh → u/HaroldFH]

Wait do you not know about BSvE?

[u/Colossus-of-Roads → u/faeriekitteh]

People might not, he was convicted 40 years ago!

[u/faeriekitteh → u/Colossus-of-Roads]

Huh, I must be in some off circles, since the topic comes up periodically

[u/BangbangKhuntross]

that does not look like bve at all. any verification of this claim?

[u/Adam_AU_ → u/BangbangKhuntross]

Trust me bro

[u/MrMegaPhoenix]

Makes sense when you think about it but it’s still surreal seeing stuff like that in a way
