Secrets about the 1975 unsolved murder of Shirley Finn may be exposed finally after the death of a former detective who was implicated in her gangland-style killing, her daughter hopes.
The brothel madam was found slumped in her car at the Royal Perth Golf Club in South Perth.
Bernie Johnson, who led the vice squad at the time, was among several men rumoured to have been linked to her murder.
A public inquest into Ms Finn’s death started last year and witnesses at the hearings either put Mr Johnson close to the scene of her murder or claimed he was involved.
However, Mr Johnson, who had denied involvement, did not give evidence because he had dementia.

I thought this inquest had resumed again this year. Does anyone know if it has?
