Forgotten Australia: The Cairns Grenade Murders Part 1
About this episode
We're taking a little break over Summer and using this time to spotlight some of our favourite true-crime podcasts.
This week we're showcasing Michael Adam's Forgotten Australia, with his three part Cairns Grenade Murders series.
On a hot night in January 1946, two women were cold-bloodedly murdered with a grenade in the centre of Cairns. In this three-part special episode - based on the original police murder file - we take a deep dive into this callous crime, whose solution was frustrated not only by the underworld’s code of silence but also by the conduct of Queensland’s most infamously corrupt cop.
