The Lockup-keeper at Lang’s Crossing-Place, Norton, about ten days ago whilst not in very sober state, left his quarters at night with a candle in his hand and has not been heard of since. It is imagined he may have walked into the Murrumbidgee. (Sydney Morning Herald, 25 December 1860)

The body of Police Constable Norton was found in the river after the Albury had passed up, the disturbance caused by the paddlewheels probably caused the body to be freed from submerged snags. (SMH, 8 January 1861)

The Argus ( Melbourne )                        Wednesday  26 December 1860                     page 7 of 8

SUICIDE AT HAY. – On Wednesday, the 12th inst., the body of John Norton was found floating on the Murrumbidgee, opposite the crossing yards at Hay. It was very much decomposed, so much so as almost to preclude identification, yet many swore to it as his body. A watch and ring were discovered on the person, and recognised as Norton’s.

A magisterial inquiry was held by the police magistrate, when the facts detailed in my communication of the 11th inst. were elicited. The conclusion arrived at was, ” that the deceased, while in a state of temporary insanity, produced by excessive indulgence in ardent spirits, committed suicide by drowning himself.”

Norton was of a very respectable family in Ireland, and had not been in the colony more than three years. – Southern Courier, Dec. 21.

Inquest to look at police woman’s ‘affair’ with a senior officer

Inquest to look at police woman’s ‘affair’ with a senior officer

Taylor Auerbach
The Daily Telegraph
March 02, 2015

Top-ranking officer was married at the time of the affair

Deputy State Coroner Paul MacMahon / Picture: Ross Schultz
Deputy State Coroner Paul MacMahon / Picture: Ross Schultz

  • Woman, 43, was seeing a psychiatrist before her death
  • She left a husband, son and a daughter
  • Friends of alleged romantic link describe him as loving family man
  • Victim’s widower still works for NSW Police.

 

THE embattled upper echelon of the NSW Police Force will be rocked again today with the launch of an inquest into the suicide of a female officer who was believed to be having a romantic affair with one of state’s most senior officers.

It is understood the top-ranking officer was married at the time he conducted the affair with the woman, who was found dead in a garage two years ago.

The inquest’s revelations come hot on the heels of the civil war between senior officers over the bugging scandal that led to separate inquiries by state parliament and the ombudsman.

The fallen officer worked at a major NSW regional centre and it is understood she was seeing a psychiatrist at the time of her death.

She was described as being a hard worker by former colleagues and left behind a husband, a son and a daughter.

Whispers have been circulating among the brass for years that the 43-year-old was involved in a romantic relationship with one of the state’s most senior and popular officers before her death in the winter of 2013.

Sources who know the top-ranking official last night denied the allegation and described him as a decent and professional family man.

But The Daily Telegraph understands that the coronial investigation will examine text messages purportedly exchanged between the pair that suggest a romantic ­relationship. It is understood the female officer sent messages to the senior member of the NSW Police executive on the day she took her life.

There is no suggestion that the top-ranking officer engaged in any wrongdoing surrounding the woman’s death.

The officer’s widower still works for NSW Police.

He is well-respected and liked by the police executive and rank-and-file officers.

An extensive list of witnesses is to be called before the inquest, which will be headed by solicitors Kenneth Madden and Scarlet Reid.

The inquest into the death of the female police officer will begin today at Glebe coroner’s court before deputy coroner Paul MacMahon.

The hearings marks the latest in a string of dramas to plague the state’s constabulary as Premier Mike Baird delays naming a successor to current Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione.

The two deputy commissioners previously touted as Mr Scipione’s most likely replacements — Catherine Burn and Nick Kaldas — have been embroiled in an embarrassing bugging scandal in which wrongful surveillance was conducted on Deputy Commissioner Kaldas, who has recently returned to duty from sick leave.

Deputy Commissioner Burn, who ran Operation Mascot, denied instructing police to bug her rival.

Former policeman guilty on two assault charges

Publication: Illawarra Mercury

Page: 7

SHERIFFS attempting to evict a Warrawong man from his unit were forced to call in police when he threatened the officers with a crowbar, a court has heard.Police were forced to subdue Peter Bevan Dunn, 50, with capsicum spray when he refused to co-operate with the eviction order and repeatedly threatened to hit the officers with the crowbar if they entered the property.He was yesterday found guilty in Wollongong Local Court of hindering the sheriffs in the execution of their duties, and also assaulting a sheriff and a police officer.A further charge of assaulting a law officer was dismissed.Sheriffs Michael Riquelme and Geraldine Trimarchi went to Dunn’s Todd St unit on May 23 with an eviction notice from the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal.

The court heard Mr Riquelme attempted to speak with Dunn through the closed screen door and explain the process, however he refused to co-operate and instead grabbed a nearby crowbar and showed it to the officers.

“He said if you do come in I will hurt you,” Ms Trimarchi said.

Mr Riquelme told the court he felt fearful and, after Dunn slammed the door shut, called police.

Four officers arrived a short time later and another attempt was made to speak with Dunn, who did not answer the door.

Dunn told the court he had been in a back room using his computer and had not heard the officers.

Lake Illawarra police officer Constable Giampiero Giuri told the court Ms Trimarchi made two attempts to kick the door open without success before he managed to kick the door open, revealing Dunn standing close by holding the crowbar above his head.

Constable Giuri said Dunn was yelling and acting aggressively and, after making several requests for him to put down the crowbar, Const Giuri pushed Ms Trimarchi out of the way before subduing Dunn with capsicum spray. He was arrested and taken to Lake Illawarra Police Station.

Dunn, an ex-police officer, said he had no intention of harming the sheriffs or police and was merely protecting his property.

He told the court he had slammed the door shut out of fear he would be tasered by the sheriffs.

Magistrate Shane McAnulty found Dunn guilty of three charges – obstructing a sheriff, assaulting a law officer and assaulting a police officer. Mr McAnulty said the assault had not involved battery but he was satisfied the victims had felt an immediate threat.

He placed Dunn on a 12-month good behaviour bond.

On behalf of the Policing family ( old and new ) I would love to congratulate those people at Hurstville who put themselves above and beyond to look after one of their own.  A man who was obviously loved and respected to the point that the members went to his home and spent the entire day there upgrading his yards.

I love the gesture of his kids having tattooed Peter’s Registered number on their forearms to forever remember their father.

May Peter forever Rest In Peace and his family know that he was obviously a much loved person and work mate.

Article Published in Liverpool RSL Sub-Branch Magazine.

Born at Cootamundra on the 29th. January 1925, the elder of eight children of Australian born parents of English and Irish decent.

Ron’s early childhood was on his parent’s property at Yeoval NSW, where he recalls helping trappers at night to collect rabbits.

Due to a major bushfire that ravaged the area in 1933, The family and remaining stock moved to a second property at Quandialla NSW, A wheat and sheep district where they remained for many years.

His schooling was at a one-teacher school near a Rail Siding called Berendebba, there were on average, sixteen pupils attending class 1st. to 6th.:Ron managed to gain a bursary.

At the outbreak of war in 1939, and still a youth of fourteen he witnessed almost every able bodied man in the district going off to war, For the next couple of years, Ron shore sheep, lumped wheat, fenced and became a general rouseabout.

During 1942 at the age of 17 years six months, he enlisted in the RAAF, after a medical at Parkes and interviews at Sydney, he was informed of a long waiting list before eventual call-up.

Now 18 years he managed to enlist in the AIF in l 943,Basic training was at Bathurst, then on to Canungra Jungle Training for the gruelling Infantry course, Ron volunteered for the Commando Course to follow.

Joining the newly formed 6 Div. Cav. Commando Regiment on the Atherton Tablelands, Ron allotted to 10 Commando Sqn. Sailed with 7 and 9 Sqn on the Katoomba as vanguard for the 6″‘ Division Aitape-Wewak campaign in New Guinea.

A bitter and costly campaign fought for days behind enemy lines, Culminating in the surrender of general Adachi, being present at the surrender Ron felt very fortunate.

On returning from New Guinea and spending some weeks in Concord Hospital, His discharge finally completed, Ron applied and was accepted into the NSW Police force, He was stationed at Leichhardt, Lithgow, Regent Street and Camperdown, Fate took over when Ron on behalf of the Police service went to Victoria Barracks to borrow Walkie Talkie sets for crowd control, The then Col.F. Hassett convinced him that by returning to the regular Army with the rank,his pay would double; The Police Certificate of Service says Very Satisfactory.

Posted to 13 National Service Battalion at Ingleburn as an instructor in 1951, Ron remained there until posted to Japan and then on to 1 RAR Korea as Regimental Police Sgt. Returning with the Battalion in April 1956 to Enoggera Barracks QLD.
Still with I RAR posted to Malaya in Sep. 1959 to Nov. 1961, Returning to Holsworthy NSW, remained as R P Sgt, and Mess Secretary/Treasurer until his discharge on 17 Jan. 1963, as pre arranged Ron again elected to join. the Commonwealth and later Federal Police Service.

After some years and tiring of shift work and double shifts, He decided to call it a day_ Resigning with a Certificate of Service marked Satisfactory.

Ron joined Nock and Kirby’s warehouse at Hoxton Park, which later became Burns Philp, then BBC.

Ron and wife Pat have lived at Minto for the past 24 years, their Son and Daughter both married with children live at Minto and Ingleburn.

And Finally: STATEMENT FROM THE MAN HIMSELF:

MY RECOLLECTIONS OF THE END OF WW2.

As a member of the 2/6 Cav. Commando Regiment comprising 7,9, l 0,Commando Squadrons, We had taken part in the whole of the Aitape-Wewak New Guinea campaign by the 6th.Division.At this time my 2/10 Squadron was occupying a place called Cape Karawop just north of Wewak which had recently been taken after a major battle.Cape Karawop was supposed to give us a rest after a five months continued action, including an amphibious landing at Dove Bay south of Wewak, The Japanese were moving down from the Mountains to our coastal holiday home, they would attack at night with grenades and rifle fire.To us this unofficial War carried on for several nights after we had been told the Japs had surrendered, I can recall our chaps yelling out “The war is over you silly bastards”. From our Unit History “To The Green Fields Beyond” by Shawn O’Leary, I have made the following interesting extracts covering the period.8.15am 6th August 1945, 1 st Atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima.11 am 9th August 1945, 2nd Atom bomb dropped on Nagasaki12th August 1945,Sydney’s crazy celebrations could be heard on our Signals wireless.9.14am 15th August 1945,the single code word NEON was flashed around the globe to confirm the unconditional surrender of Japan, Sydney again went wild, from a platform in the Domain Jack Davey entertained an audience of 150,000.The Commandos took stock of their losses in the campaign, 48 killed 119 wounded, They had killed 778 Japanese taken 23 prisoners and found 363 dead, Our last casualty was on the 18th. “August 1945, A young 19 year old killed by one of our own booby traps while checking for Japanese infiltrators. On the 22nd August 1945 General Adachi advised that Japanese troops had been ordered to cease fire but not to lay down their Arms.On the 13th September 1945 General Adachi formally signed surrender documents on the Air strip at Cape Wom before Major General H.C.H Robertson.Having served the whole of the Campaign and being present on the surrender parade, I was most grateful and proud to have survived WW2
