Australia: The Butcher of Wollongong
It was a quiet morning on Saturday 13 June 1998 at Lake Illawarra in Australia’s seaside state of New South Wales. The Kanahooka Road corner shop was closed when locals turned up to get the morning newspaper and some coffee. This was very unusual, the corner shop’s owner, 60-year old David O’Hearn was a creature of habit and the shop always opened punctually at 7 am.
A concerned friend alerted David’s family who immediately went to his Albion Park home to check on him. No-one could ever have imagined the horrific scene that awaited them. When they arrived, they found that the front door was unlocked. As David’s sister, Kris, entered the townhouse where David lived alone, his badly mutilated body was laying on the living room floor, right by the front door.
David had been dismembered, decapitated and disemboweled. Police found his intestines resting on a silver tray close to his body. His dismembered hand was cast aside and ended up on the sofa. A pentagram, an inverted cross and the word ‘SATAN’ were smeared onto the walls in the victim’s own blood.
As first responders walked through this diabolical scene, they found David O’Hearn’s decapitated head staring back at them from the kitchen sink. This murder was to become one of the most heinous killings ever committed in Australia.
