Sean Udal Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hi,Most of the murders etc, are domestic violence. Not like SA, when a stranger kills you out of the blue.We had a person stabbed down the road in a very good area. Alcohol related.We are all still very safe in OZ :-)CheerioSean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandiceM Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 The Moran murder wasn't in Canberra but in Melbourne. And they are a gang related murder. The Moran's are an infamous gang family, on which a successful TV series called Underbelly was based. It appears that the man was murdered by his SIL. I am not sure of the ins and outs but its not an everyday, we want your wallet murder.The May story involves the bikie gangs. Also complicated history, and I am not up to date with who did what to who, but again not your run of the mill crime, where you are afraid that you are next (unless I suppose you are a bikie or a Moran).Like Sean said most murder/violent crime, is perpetrated by someone known to the victim, very seldom is there a random killing. Don't worry, we are very safe in Oz especially Canberra.Candice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 When I saw the topic my first reaction was "what did I miss ??" Dont stress - if memory serves me right the last murder was the bikie guy. And I agree with the above comments, seems all related to drugs, the underworld, bikies, and family violence.There has been a bit of "armed robbery" lately. Seems drug related and they use knives etc.The only thing that I can say really scares me is the bullying taking place in schools - especially amongst the girls. This definately is a problem and for me ranks higher than crime in Canberra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
