On 11 November 1863 – 160 years ago this month – history was made in Victoria when the murder of drunkard Bob Scott was avenged on the gallows in Melbourne Gaol. But what had really happened when a midnight shot was fired in the darkness of a Devils River grog shanty? Was justice done at the hands of the hangman?
Murder at Devil’s River - Part Two: I’m Innocent But I Know I’ll Hang will go general release on 23 November. Murder at Devil’s River - Part Three: Australia’s First Femme Fatale will go general release on 27 November.
Part Two and Part Three are available early and ad-free to Apple and Patreon supporters.
