Kerryn Tate’s badly burnt body was discovered at Karragullen on 30 December 1979. She’d been bludgeoned to death and then set on fire. 

Kerryn had come to Western Australia from New South Wales following the death of one of her baby twins, but her search for a new life was ended in the most brutal of circumstances.
