Note | '66 murder suspect held
MELBOURNE: Victorian police were questioning a man last night over the murder 19 years ago of teenagers Miss Abina Madill and Mr Gary Haywood at Shepparton in Northern Victoria.
The man was arrested yester day morning at a factory in the southern Melbourne suburb of Highett.
Miss Madill, 16, and Mr Haywood, 18, were murdered in the early hours of February 11, 1966.
The couple disappeared after a dance at the Shepparton Civic Centre and their bodies were found 15 days later in isolated bush at Murchison East, about 30km from Shepparton.
Miss Madill's skull had been crushed. Mr Haywood's body was found about 200m away in an adjoining paddock, shot through the temple by a .22 rifle.
