The Most Bizarre Murders In Oceania's History | Time Travels | Absolute History

From calculating killers to merciless victors, in this episode, Tony seeks to answer why some people will stop at nothing to get what they desire. He travels to 1950s New Zealand to uncover what triggered the killing of an innocent victim by a young couple and why the disturbing case captured headlines around the world. Tony investigates a 17th-century Dutch shipwreck off the coast of Australia that caused one man to carry out a hideous crime on an unimaginable scale. Tony reveals the motivations behind the assassination attempt on Governor Arthur Phillip's life, and what the ramifications were for the future of the fledgling Australian colony. Tony journeys to 1930s Adelaide to witness the ruthless and brutal tactic deployed by rival countrymen, which outraged a nation and caused a rift between allies. And Tony goes on the trail of the first camel imported to Australia to understand the terrible deed the beast was found guilty of. These real-life horror stories prove malevolence can take on many guises, but getting away with injustice is much harder than it seems.
