McCulkin murders
The McCulkin murders were the murders of Barbara McCulkin and her two daughters, Vicki and Leanne. On 16 January 1974, they disappeared from their home in Highgate Hill, a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. In October 2014, Vincent O'Dempsey and Gary Dubois were charged with their abduction and murder. On 28 November 2016, Dubois was found guilty of the murders. On 26 May 2017, O'Dempsey was found guilty of murder. Both were sentenced to life imprisonment on 1 June 2017.
Following the sentencing, on 2 June 2017, Queensland Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath announced that the state government would re-open the coronial inquest into the Whiskey Au Go Go fire. Justice Peter Applegarth said "it was clear Barbara McCulkin knew enough about each of the pair's roles in night club bombings at the time for them to want to silence her."
