I don't remember my mum ever crying after it had happened.
The police, from that point forward, like I remember that point or that part quite extensively.
But from then on, it became a bit of a blur.
We basically got changed because they had told us where my grandfather was.
And then we got driven down in the police car to Calvary Hospital, which is in Belconnen.
And
I remember coming to the ward and seeing the police officer at the front door of my grandfather's room and we went in.
By that time they had already cleaned him up a bit but he had the telephone cable still tied around his arms.
And then, yeah, from there, we stayed there for a little while.
We went home for a little bit.
And then everybody in the family was asked to attend one of the different police stations because there were so many of us to give a formal interview.
And that went on for, you know, several hours for each of us.
essentially trying to rule out the family because in these instances, you know, family is always the first suspect.
And then from there, yeah, a lot of those early years just became a bit of a blur, but I'll never forget that night ever in my life.
