A quiet South Australian town became the backdrop for a chilling series of murders between 1999‑2000, when three men formed a twisted “vigilante” group. Using an abandoned bank’s steel barrels to hide bodies, they killed drug dealers, sex workers and petty criminals, rationalising the killings as moral cleansing. A local farmer’s tip and a police officer’s investigation uncovered the barrels, leading to arrests, life‑sentence convictions and a national reckoning on rural policing, community silence and the power of forensic science.
