Senior police officer found dead at work in horrifying discovery in Melbourne’s inner south

Police have confirmed the death of a senior sergeant who was found at a police station in Melbourne’s inner south.

WARNING: Confronting.

 

WARNING: Confronting

A senior Victoria Police officer has been found dead at a station in Melbourne’s inner south, police have confirmed.

Victoria Police confirmed the death of the senior sergeant which happened at around 7.30pm on Friday.

A spokesman confirmed he was not on-duty at the time.

“It is with great sadness that we can confirm a senior sergeant has taken his own life on Friday 13 January, ( 2023 )” a statement from Victoria Police reads.

“The male police officer was located deceased at the station just before 7.30pm.

“His death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will be prepared for the coroner.”

The senior sergeant’s death has sent shock waves around the police community.

The Police Association of Victoria shared their condolences and said the officer’s family and colleagues will be taken care of.

“We can confirm reports of a non-operational incident that occurred at the Moorabbin police station yesterday afternoon where a police member has sadly passed away,” read a post made on social media.

“Our thoughts are with the family and colleagues of the deceased member who will be supported by The Police Association and Victoria Police.”

In a Facebook group dedicated to fallen members of the force, one member said it was a “sad day” for the force.

“RIP Sarge,” he wrote.

“Rally around the troops and make sure they’re okay.

“It’s going to be hard for them.”

Former police officer and Opposition corrections spokesman Brad Battin also shared his condolences.

“My thoughts are with the family, friends and colleagues of a life gone too soon,” Mr Battin, who is also the MP for Berwick, shared on social media.

“Today, reach out and thank all police for the stress and pressure they put themselves and their family under to protect our community.

A BANORA Point resident fears Lake Kimberley will flood homes this week if heavy rain keeps falling.

A BANORA Point resident fears Lake Kimberley will flood homes this week if heavy rain keeps falling.

Rising water at the lake has submerged a nearby footpath and was approaching nearby houses.

Former police officer Jim Sunter, 83, said he had noticed water levels were above average since heavy rain began last week.

“I’m concerned for a lot of the local residents. Most of them are pensioners and wouldn’t fare well if the water in the lake went any higher,” Mr Sunter said.

“It doesn’t seem to be draining anywhere.”

Mr Sunter said the lake flooded nearby houses about three years ago.

“I’ve spoken to a lot of residents and they’re worried about it.

“If it keeps raining, I think it will flood,” he said.

According to the Bureau of Meteorology, Tweed Heads received 127mm of rain in the 24 hours to 9am yesterday.

Cloudy conditions and more showers are predicted for later this week.

A spokesman for the RTA, which is working on the nearby Banora Point Pacific Highway upgrade and drainage system for the lake, said the project team was monitoring the rising water levels.

“We’ve put several measures in place to ensure any impact from the heavy rainfall is minimised,” the spokesman said.

“The gates are open and working to ensure that water flows freely, there are four pumps running continuously and pumping excess water through the site and additionally, two bypass pipes have been installed.”

On the 13 May, 1983, a meeting was held to propose the establishment of a police museum in police premises in Phillip Street, Sydney. The museum was to be a joint project between the Police Department and the Justice Department. While the emphasis
of the museum at this stage was on the police, Mr. Watkins of the Justice Department requested that the museum be referred to as the Police Justice Historical Museum. The committee resolved to write to the Treasury and the Premier’s Department requesting that a representative from Treasury be appointed to the committee and Mr. P. Bickerstaff was appointed as Treasury’s representative on the committee. The committee held another meeting on the 17 June, 1983. The committee members now consisted of, Inspector G.B. Stone, Police Public Relations Branch. L.F. Vineburg, Secretary of the Police Department. P. Bickerstaff, Treasury. R. Hammond, Police Public Relations Branch. L. Haroldson, Department of Attorney General and of Justice. J. Parker-Smith, Police Public Relations Branch. A. Race, Police Properties Branch. I. Sansom, Public Works Department and Mr. Watkins, Department of Attorney General and of Justice.

Mrs. M.E. Smidt, Executive Officer, Police Department, also attended the meeting. I. Sansom, of the Public Works Department had replaced Mr. L. Glendenning.   F. Saillard, Chairman of the NSW Police Historical Society, was invited to represent the Society and was appointed to the committee in July, 1983. As the years went by, committee members would change and Deputy Commissioner Barney Ross also eventually served on the committee.

A letter was sent to the Public Service Board on the 28 June, 1983, advising that the police museum committee had been formed. The Attorney General also wrote to the Acting Premier outlining the proposal to establish the Police Justice Historical Museum in the Phillip Street police buildings. The proposal affected the existing police station, the Court complex and the building which accommodated the Health Department’s STD (sexually transmitted diseases) clinic. The premises were used as a Water Police Court in 1856, Water Police Station in 1858 and a Police Court in 1886. It was proposed that the Police Band and the Crime Prevention Unit would occupy the Health Department building when the STD clinic was relocated. The Police Pipe Band and the Police Choir were also considered as suitable occupiers of the complex. But there was a concern that musical rehearsals would disrupt court proceedings. The Police Pipe Band was formed in 1946, on approval by Commissioner of Police William MacKay and the Police Choir was formed in the 1930s.

Bicentennial funding was being sought from the Federal Government to finance the building works and a submission was presented to the Bicentennial Authority. On the 21 st June, 1984, the Premier’s Department wrote to the Attorney General’s Department confirming that the Police Justice Museum was included on the schedule of Bicentennial projects and was seeking confirmation that the project was going to proceed.

In January, 1984, it was estimated that the project would cost over $4 million, which included $917,000 for the court house, $1,300,000 for the police station and $2,666,000 for the STD clinic. The project was expected to take at least 2 years.

In 1984, Chief Superintendent Col Joyce, who was Vice Chairman of the New South Wales Region of the International Police Association (IPA), wrote to the museum committee asking if the IPA could be accommodated in the police museum complex. The IPA was after an office to undertake administrative work, a room for holding IPA meetings, an area to exhibit police memorabilia and access to an area where functions could be held. At the museum committee meeting held on the 5 July, 1984, it was resolved to write to the IPA and advise that the IPA’s request would be considered before finalisation of the plans for the police museum complex. The NSW Police Historical Society also wanted to be accommodated in the building, as did some other organizations that were not really police orientated. The committee also received a proposal from Phillip Ballantine-Jones who was seeking a franchise to run a police museum in the Phillip Street complex as a tourist activity. It was considered that the Ballantine-Jones proposal was not in line with what the Police Department proposed.

Coronial Inquiry

………..

At Wauchope Court House on July 3 Mr. James Wallace, District Coroner held an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Isaac McLeod, aged 79 years, and returned a finding that deceased met his death on 9th June when he was accidentally drowned at McLennan’s Falls, whilst endeavouring to cross the Hastings River.

Dr. William Begg, Government Medical Officer at Wauchope, said: On 13th June, 1950, I viewed the body of the deceased Isaac McLeod on the river bank at Gannon’s Creek, 11 miles west of Wauchope. The body was that of a man about 70 years of age, was well nourished, and there were no marks of external violence further than could be expected from drifting down the river for a mile and a half. I would say the body had the appearance of being in the water for three or four days and in my opinion I would say, from the external examination, that death was due to drowning.

Henry Reuben McLeod, carrier of Dungay Creek, via Kempsey; stated: I am son of the deceased Isaac McLEOD, and the last time I saw him alive was about three months ago in Sydney and he was then in good health. He was in the habit of travelling about the country in a horse-drawn caravan and when I last heard of him he was at Woolbrook, near Tamworth. I knew he was going to travel through to Kempsey. On 13th June, 1950, I identified my father’s body after it had been recovered from the Hastings River at Gannon’s Creek, about 11 miles west of Wauchope. I identified the caravan and the property with it as my father’s. My father left a will of which I am one of the executors. He did not, as far as I know have any life insurance.

John Francis Royan, farmer, of Gannon’s Creek deposed: On the 9th June, 1950, at about 9.50 a.m. an elderly man driving a horse-drawn caravan called at my home. He remained there for about half an hour. He asked was it safe to cross the river and I had a look at it from the bank above. It seemed quite safe to cross. I asked him if he had a reliable horse, and he told me that wherever his horse could put its feet it could go. He then started off towards the river. That was the last I saw of that man. The following morning I was informed that the horse and van was in the river. I went down noticed the horse and caravan in deep water about 70 yards below the crossing. I noticed the tracks of the caravan leading to the water where the recognised crossing was, and where I directed him to cross. At the time I was speaking to the deceased he appeared to be in good health and spirits. I am familiar with this crossing where the deceased attempted to cross. At the deepest it would be about three feet deep and it is about 50 yards wide. The bottom of the crossing consists of gravel and round, water-washed, slippery stones. I would say that the crossing would be quite safe for a horse that was used to water. I have found that some horses are frightened when they get into water and they would fight back. In my opinion the horse must have become unmanageable and the reins must have come out of his hands, or got caught, which caused the horse to head downstream into the deeper water. I would say that a man would naturally try and get out and go to the horse’s head in a case like that. I saw the body after it had been removed from the water. It was the body of the man who called at my house on 9th June. I was present when the body was moved from the water and knew that it was Isaac McLeod.

Constable Colin Patrick Joyce, of Wauchope Police, stated: On June 13, 1950, I was present at Gannon’s Creek when the body of Isaac McLeod was removed from the waters of the Hastings River. I remained with the body until his son, Henry Reuben McLeod, identified the body as that of Isaac McLeod his father. The doctor and Coroner then arrived and viewed the body. I took possession of the property found on the deceased and brought it to Wauchope Police Station. I could not see any marks of violence on the body.

George Caelli, timber worker, of Gannon’s Creek, said: On 13th June, 1950, I was pulling a boat up the Hastings River about a mile and a half below McLennan’s Falls which is about 11 miles west of Wauchope. I noticed the body of a man caught on the limb of a tree a few feet under the surface of the water. I then went and notified Constable Joyce. — ‘Hasting’s Gazette.’

Newcastle Sun (NSW : 1918 – 1954),

Monday 20 March 1950, page 10

Court at Newcastle

(Before Mr. R. A. Hardwicke. S.M.)

 

IMPOSITION CHARGE ” Although I am dismissing this charge against you this time, I will show you no mercy if you come be fore me on a similar charge,” Mr. R. A. Hardicke, S.M., warned Francis Alexander Grant.

Grant was charged with unlawfully imposing on Constable Colin Patrick Joyce, of Newcastle police, by falsely representing that the proceeds of a book he was selling would be devoted to the Totally and Permanently Disabled Soldiers’ Fund.

On a second charge of offensive behavior ( sic ) he was fined £5.

” As you claim to be a partly incapacitated soldier yourself, your offence was mean and dispicable ( sic ),” Mr. Hardwicke continued. ” By using the unselfish record of those men, who have devoted the greater part of their lives to helping returned soldiers who are unable to help themselves, you sold books for your own gain,” the magistrate told Grant.

” I am a digger myself,” Grant replied. ” I receive a pension and I have T.B.”

” I saw no harm in what I was doing, but was trying to raise a little extra money before going back to Yaralla for treatment,” he added.

Constable J. W. Fairfull ( # 5422 ), ‘who arrested Grant, said that Newcastle R.S.L. Council was concerned at the unlawful sales of these books, as genuine collectors were received with distrust.

When arrested, Constable Fairfull said, Grant asked ” for a break ” as he was only trying to earn an ” honest bob.”

Victor was a Fitter and Turner prior to entering employment with the NSWP.

 

Prior to commencing employment with the NSWPF, Vic started rowing at Leichhardt Rowing Club in 1953 – 1954; this was the rowing club of his father and brother.

 

In 1957 Vic raced in the King’s Cup ( the Australian Championships ) held in Brisbane, Qld.

There he rowed in the eight’s oared race, earning 2nd place.

In 1959 he participated in the Empire Games ( currently known as the Commonwealth Games ) in the sport of rowing, where he was awarded a Silver Medal after coming second to the Russians.

Vic, in 1959, was selected to row in the Kings Cup, at Perth WA, and after a three mile race on the Swan River, his team came first earning a ‘gold medal’.

Vale – Victor Schweikert | Leichhardt Rowing Club

Published Fri 05 Jan 2024

 

Lionel Robberds AM QC (Leichhardt Rowing Club Patron) advises that Victor Schweikert, former National, State and Club representative passed way in recent days (late December 2023).

Vic’s success on the water followed the Leichhardt Eights win over the NSW State crew, when preparing for the 1958 Empire Games at Cardiff in Wales.  Five Leichhardt oarsmen, with Lionel as Coxswain, represented Australia in the Eight, winning the Silver medal.

Vic was also in the 1959 NSW Kings Cup Eight mainly comprised of Leichhardt Oarsmen, winning the Kings Cup for the first time since 1951.

The Schweikert family of Bert, Carl and Eric had been successful Coaches at Leichhardt. It was Eric’s son Victor, who had crewed in the Kings Cup from 1957 to 1957 and again in 1960,

In his younger days Vic had been a member of the winning Shore Eight in the Head of the River going on to win the Australian Schoolboys Championship.

As a former retired Police officer, Vic was a regular attendee at relevant functions for retirees from Police and Rowing.

May he rest in peace.
