Clarification[edit]

Can someone please clarify how a coroner determined Mackay was shot if no body has been found? Did they find bullets with his blood on them or something? I mean this as a real question, not just being critical. 71.63.119.49 01:06, 7 June 2007 (UTC) Oops, I must have looked right through the bit about the evidence in his van. It could have been written better, but I should have been reading more carefully. Sorry, please disregard.71.63.119.49 01:08, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removing category: Unsolved murders in Australia[edit]

Woodward Royal Commission, coronial inquest, conviction. While we may want to know the whole story, scarcely unsolved. MartinSFSA (talk) 19:24, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is a unsolved murder, no one has been charged for murder and is still being investigated[1]. Bidgee (talk) 10:33, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On the part about Grassby's acquittal[edit]

The sources I've found are rather confused.. the obits certainly aren't very helpful. This gives a tiny bit of background. As do [2][3]"donald bruce mackay" Nevard (talk) 10:30, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bazley[edit]

Why is Bazley's conviction for conspiracy to murder (?) not mentioned in the introduction? To say the case is "unsolved" seems strange. Jack Upland (talk) 14:29, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
