Caroline Byrne murder trial

Godzilla  said about 1 year ago  or at  2:25PM on Wednesday, June 27 2007.

I thought it was a bit much when Gordon Wood went straight from his girlfriend's funeral to the gym to transfer the remaining part of her membership to his account but this has really grossed me out.

A FEW hours after watching the shattered body of his girlfriend retrieved from the bottom of The Gap, Gordon Wood went to the morgue and asked to see her breasts.

In a statement to police, former Glebe Morgue attendant Kenneth Nichols said he was alone at the counter on the afternoon of June 8, 1995 when Wood walked in, identified himself as Caroline Byrne's boyfriend, and asked to see her body: "Do you mind if I look at her tits".

Sounds like a class act.

The files also contain statements from one of Ms Byrne's friends, the former Home and Away star Kylie Watson. She claimed Wood tried to seduce her in the weeks and months after Ms Byrne died. He had also given Ms Watson, then 17, Ms Byrne's gold watch. She said she rejected his advances.

Did Rene Rivkin give this guy an alibi, or not?

I could have it wrong. Probably do.

Please advise.

Top bloke, that Wood.


shortrockus  said about 1 year ago:

funny i still remember how that case was mentioned in some mystery show back in '95 and the journalist said in the ads 'was she pushed or did she fall?'


sum1  said about 1 year ago:

Well, either way, let's hope her tits still looked good.


filterfeed  said about 1 year ago:

after that plunge? i doubt it.


losgauchos  said about 1 year ago:

andyr  said about 1 year ago:

There was another interesting bit in The Australian's story yesterday.

Rene said in his statement to police in 2000 that Wood ''liked to be photographed naked''.

:/


sum1  said about 1 year ago:

Mmmmmmm, tawdry.


Godzilla  said about 1 year ago:

Maybe he never actually every lifted his eyes above them and it was the only way he could recognise her.

Funny... just finished reading Lullaby and its got stuff on necrophillia... the best sex you'll ever have, apparently


filterfeed  said about 1 year ago:

didn't see this coming


BADALEX  said about 1 year ago:

Back in the day, the scuttlebutt was that she came in on 'ol Gordon giving it to Rene, and knew about a few shonky dealings, and that's why she copped it.

Even more creepy, I'm pretty fucking sure I met her at Sublime when it was on Pitt Street.

Even more creepy, I used to work for Rene Rivkin at Cave nightclub. Brrr.


annehelena  said about 1 year ago:

Did you 'work it good'?


annehelena  said about 1 year ago:

Damn, I should have punctuated that with 'sista!'.


BADALEX  said about 1 year ago:

Hard to say anne. I got fired for pointing out that we were getting ripped of as regards payment, worked a sunday night shift through to monday morning of a public holiday...for thirteen an hour.

I said after work ''This is fucking bullshit. We're getting ripped off.'' So this guy says ''No, no, I'm sure it's all above board.'' I say ''How long have you been working in bars?'' He goes ''About three months.'' So I say ''Then shut the fuck up. You know dick. Thirteen an hour is fucked period, we should be getting eighteen base PLUS bonus for working sunday night and on a public holiday. Fucked.''

As it turns out, that was Rene Rivkins son I was talking to...whoops.


annehelena  said about 1 year ago:

Haha, that's pretty funny. What a little cunt for dobbing you to his dad.

Were there any particular perks to this place, that made working for 13 an hour okay?


BADALEX  said about 1 year ago:

Not really, no. Shittiest place I ever worked out for fringe benefits. Usually you work in a nightclub, well, at least in the nineties, then bam. You get in for free to pretty much fucking everywhere. Not with the stupid cave. Actually, the fucked up stories. So I'm doing the glassy thing, and I start up this conversation with this guy. He says ''Check this out.'' And lifts up his shirt, revealing the biggest most fucked up scar I have ever seen. Basically a triangle that ran from his sternum to his hips. I said ''What the fuck?'' He says ''Yeah, got stabbed, the guy gutted me. They put me back together but.'' Whoops.

Arguments with bouncers about why they should let people fuck in the toilets was also a highlight of retard.


annehelena  said about 1 year ago:

Woah.


BADALEX  said about 1 year ago:

Yeah. Lot of 'whoah' went on in that place I guess.

they should've tacked at least another 5 years on for the incident in the first post. creepy fucker.


toadphoney  said 33 days ago:

I think you're over reacting, she may have had a map or important info tattooed on her chest... maybe it would reveal the real killer...

You don't know all the facts so don't judge H8tz.


filterfeed  said 33 days ago:
