Hi there, I’m Samantha Selinger-Morris, the host of The Morning Edition, the daily news podcast from The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald.  We’re bringing you the best episodes of 2024, before your Morning Edition team returns in early January. Today we bring you a story about an arrest that was made in a notorious and long unsolved cold case, the Easey Street murders. One of Australia’s best known crime reporters, John Silvester, broke the news and in this episode, he takes us behind-the-scenes of the police investigation and how he got the story.  Since we recorded this episode, Perry Kouroumblis returned to Australia, where he appeared before a Melbourne court and was charged with two counts of murder and one count of rape, over the 1977 deaths of Collingwood housemates Suzanne Armstrong and Susan Bartlett. He is due to return to court in February.Subs
