Irma Palacic's brutal murder rocked her family and has haunted them for 24 long years.
This wasn't the average robbery.
The brutality of the attack shocked the community.
They were virtually tortured that night.
Well, I think that's the big unanswered question.
And I think if there was a third person involved, it's the person who told them.
But then it doesn't look like the cash was shared with anyone else because Vakoni, as we know, took $30,000.
And Fabrizi says he got $12,000 of it.
I mean, they might have given something to someone else.
But that was something that raised a question in my mind.
There was a little bit of evidence from Fabrizi.
Well, part of the conversation Fabrizi had with undercover officer Danny was
where he talks about someone who knew them who lived in Melbourne talking to their husband about it and then the husband telling Vakoni.
It might have been inadvertent.
The third person may not have known what they triggered.
We can speculate all we like, but that is the big unanswered question as to how they knew Vakoni
that the cash would be there perhaps in the first instance because remember um 1998 they the colony it has been found guilty of being there uh we don't know what happened in 1997 when the large amount of money was gone we don't know who was responsible for that but somebody knew about that and whoever communicated with them knew they'd moved house so that's the that's the big question
Well, you know, there were 331 suspects before they found the two people now found to have been there.
First on that list was one of Irma's grandsons.
