For years, one of Australia’s best known crime reporters, John Silvester, kept a secret.
He knew there had been a significant development in a notorious and long unsolved cold case: The Easey Street murders.
But he didn’t write anything about it, until a few days ago, when he broke the story that there had been an arrest.
It was big news, most of all for the family of Suzanne Armstrong and Susan Bartlett, school friends from the country who flatted together in Collingwood before their lives were violently and cruelly taken.
Today, John Silvester takes us behind the scenes of the police investigation, the arrest and why he kept quiet on the case for so long.
