I was a kid in the 80's and don't remember any of this happening.

First saw a story on this on the "Sunday Night" program a few years ago.....hadnt heard anything recently (apart from an arrest a year or so ago) so just did a google search, and it appears that trial is coming up very soon.

Time gets them all. Really scary stuff over a few months iirc. Always said it was a disgruntled father. Just had to eliminate half of the Oz population.

Not sure it led to many changes at all to be honest

The main one but didn't think there was enough evidence to charge at the time?

Policing must be a funny job you must need the honey pot or a confession to get a charge

Will be interesting to see how this unfolds -

Surprised this hasn't had more interest, the spree he's alleged to have gone on is diabolical. This former firey didn't care how powerful his targets were.


A lawyer for the man accused of Sydney's family court bombings in the 1980s has told the Supreme Court the case against his client is so absurd, any evidence must be "out of Monty Python".

Leonard John Warwick, 71, is currently on trial for four murders, an attempted murder and maliciously blowing up a court and other buildings between 1980 and 1985.

He is accused of seven incidents that include the shooting murders of his wife's brother and of Justice David Opas outside his Woollahra home.

Mr Warwick is also accused of setting off a bomb that killed Pearl Watson — the wife of Justice Ray Watson at his home — and a bomb that killed Jehovah's Witness minister Graham Wykes and injured several people in a church.



(His lawyer plans to reveal the names of other possible perpetrators.)
