1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: A warning for listeners that this series contains graphic details,

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: including references to murder and rape. Hi. Everyone, it's Olivia

3
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: Jenkins here, the host of the latest season of Hunting Justice,

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: and we're back with a quick update episode for you

5
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: all with some developments that have happened in court. So

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: if you haven't caught up on our first six episodes,

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: make sure you go back and hit play on those

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: so you don't get any spoilers in this episode or

9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: everything that we are going to discuss in this episode

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: makes sense. So first, we wanted to update you about

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: some proceedings in the Melbourne Supreme Court this week. If

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: you have listened to this series so far, you would

13
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: have heard us say that Perry Crumblus, the man charged

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: with murdering Susanne Armstrong and Susan Bartlett in Collingwood in

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy seven, was also initially charged with the rape,

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: but that rape charge was struck out by a magistrate

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: during a committal hearing, which is where it was determined

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 1: and that he would stand trial for their murders. This

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: week he returned to court, but he returned to the

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: Supreme Court where the rape charge was reinstated. In addition

21
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 1: to the two murder charges. We can't tell you about

22
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: all of the specifics out of that hearing this week,

23
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: but what we can say is that the rape charge,

24
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: which was referred to in the seventies as cardinal knowledge,

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: is back on Perry's indictment. Now, this development comes a

26
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: few months after the committal hearing you might have heard

27
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: a bit about throughout the series so far, where a

28
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: magistrate determined that Perry would stand trial for the murders.

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: That rape charge was initially struck out at Perry Korumblus's

30
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: committal hearing late last year. My colleague Ashchargoon covered this

31
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: week's most recent hearing for The Herald's son, and she's

32
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: reported that previously, during the committal hearing for Perry, the

33
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: court heard discussion over whether the alleged rape occurred before

34
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: or after Sue Armstrong died, and back then there was

35
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: no alternate charge such as interfering with the corpse available

36
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: in the seventies, and so the magistrate decided to dismiss

37
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: that charge. But as Ash reported this week, it's understood

38
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: that the kernel knowledge charge was filed on indictment paperwork

39
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court just in the last few weeks.

40
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: Perry's likely to return to court over the next few

41
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: months for a series of administrative hearings, including filing formal

42
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: defense for that rape charge, and pretrial hearings because no

43
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: date has officially been set for his trial, so this

44
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: might be the last that you hear from us for

45
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: a little while, but we will bring you all of

46
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,480
