A Tale of Two Cities (34 page)

Identikit (1): the gunman who shot Ray Chuck, a.k.a. Bennett, at Melbourne Magistrates Court.

Identikit (2): the bogus ‘gardener' who set up the gunman's getaway route.

On the wall: a message to Ray Chuck on the court cell wall before he was shot.

Snub noses: short-barrelled revolvers similar to the one used to shoot Ray Chuck, a.k.a. Bennett.

After the event: a detective examines the upstairs court lobby where Ray Chuck was shot.

Tinny: someone had made a hole in the wall of the magistrates' garage … but who?

Christopher Dale Flannery: mad, bad, dangerous to know.

Charming, handsome, well-dressed … and a psychopath. Flannery reputedly killed fourteen people.

Kath Flannery: blood loyal to career killer.

Roger Wilson: clean-living lawyer, businessman, husband and father duped into pulling over for a ‘police car' that wasn't. His body was never found, although Flannery had to move it once to make sure.

Debra Boundy: she recanted her evidence against Flannery and his co-accused, but it was too late. She vanished. Some say Alphonse Gangitano was the last to see her alive.

Dab hand with a blowtorch: former Sydney detective Roger Caleb Rogerson making an honest living.
