It's January 1977, in Easey Street, Collingwood, and high school friends Susan Bartlett, 27 and Suzanne Armstrong, 28 had bid farewell to Susan's brother after having dinner with him and his girlfriend and were getting ready to settle down for the night. Suzanne's infant son Gregory was already asleep in his cot.
The 'two Sue's' as they were known as were never seen alive again and were found savagely murdered in their Easey Street terrace three days later, baby Gregory found unharmed but severely dehydrated and distraught. Police were desperate to catch the girls killer, but as leads went cold years rolled into decades with no suspect in custody, one of Australia's most brutal murders went cold.
Until 2024, that is, when a suspect was arrested in Italy thanks to DNA left at the murder scene.
Join Belinda over a cuppa or two as she discusses the murder that was once desceibed as 'Victoria's Most Brutal Crime' and how we are now, finally, going to see a suspect take the stand.
