Episode 134 - Who Killed Ray Locksley?


Listen Later

This week we delve into Jack's specialty - true crime - and ask who killed Ray Locksley?

He was only a young lad when he was murdered and his life is often misrepresented by those who tell his story. So is his murder. Commonly known to be one of the many hits conducted by Chris 'rentakill' Flannery, that theory comes undone quickly when you shine a light on it.

So what the hell is a verbal? Well, policework was done differently back then and a cops word was as good as gold. But the cops were bigger crooks than the crooks. Many innocent people spent a long time behind bars on the back of a verbal. Things have changed a little since then.

Jack looks hard at the circumstances around Locksley's death and explores a criminal world where police and perps lived in parallel.

A botched attempt to stitch up the ideal fall guy is a perfect allegory for a time in Australia's history where criminals and cops worked in tandem and if you got in the way, you got shot.

Enjoy!
