On 30 September 1971 two NSW police officers were murdered at a house in Toongabbie, Western Sydney. The murderer had earlier shot his brother dead, and sexually assaulted his brother’s de-facto partner. After the shootings the murderer fled the house but was later chased by police. The pursuit ended in a crash between the murderer’s car and a police truck, and then another shooting.

In this episode APJ Deputy Editor Barry Fay talks about this tragic story, and his article. about it titled ‘Always Expect the Unexpected’. It was published in the September 2018 issue of the APJ and can be read online at www.apjl.com.au.
