In previous blog posts we learnt of the horrific crime, man hunt and subsequent trial of the Kenniff brothers Patrick and James. In this, the last in our three-part series ‘The Murders that Changed Queensland’, we explore the long-term ramifications of the murders of George Doyle and Albert Dahlke. Ramifications that still affect the everyday lives of Queenslanders to this day.
In part 2 of The Murders that Changed Queensland we explore the trial of the Kenniffs and the public outrage that resulted. Claims of injustice, bias and the Catholic Protestant divide polarised the state like never before. What appeared to be an open and shut case proved anything but. Learn more about the trial and its impact in part 2 of The Murders that Changed Queensland.
The most consequential murders in Queensland's history occurred near this site in March 1902. In this first part of this blog series we explore the actual crime and its location, Lethbridge Pocket in the rugged Carnarvon Ranges (now part of the Mt Moffatt section of Carnarvon National Park).
