The Wollongong Murders

The Wollongong Murders

In 1998 Wollongong was the scene of two brutal murders, former lord mayor Frank Arkell and much-loved shopkeeper David O’Hearn, committed by 18-year-old Mark Valera.

The violence continued when Valera’s sister, Belinda van Krevel, arranged the killing of their father.

Journalist and author John Suter Linton, who chronicled the events in Bound by Blood (2004), joins us to discuss the case.
