Crime Scenes with Coffee Beans

The Gun Alley Murder

Belinda Brady Season 1 Episode 5

It's early morning NYE 1921, in a quiet, yet seedy laneway known as Gun Alley in the heart of Melbourne, Victoria, and a keen bottle collector is up early to collect empty bottles from the night before, eager to beat the crowds and summer heat.What he finds instead is so horrific it sends him running for the police. There, in Gun Alley, was the body of 12 year old Alma Tirtscke, the very girl that had been reported missing the day before by her grandmother. But how did Alma end up in this seedy laneway? Why was she there and most importantly, who did this to the shy girl with fiery red hair?Join Belinda over a cuppa - or cocktail - as she takes a look at the crime that shook Melbourne to its core and resulted in an innocent man being posthumously pardoned of a murder charge - 96 years after he was hanged.Coffee not compulsory - but it is recommended! Music by Gioele Fazzeri from Pixabay
