Family Murders

The Family Murders are a series of violent and depraved sex crimes committed against five young men and boys in South Australia throughout the 1970's and 1980's. In 1988 Detective Trevor Kipling described a group of people whom he suspected as being responsible as 'one big happy family' and vowed to do all that he could to bring them to justice. The sinister group was dubbed 'The Family' and consisted of some of the most powerful and influential people in the state at the time. Only one man, Bevan Spencer von Einem, was convicted of murdering Richard Kelvin, the last of the five known victims, but he hadn't acted alone. Rumour and innuendo regarding the involvement of high profiles has plagued Adelaide ever since, and to this day four out of the five murders remain unsolved despite overwhelming evidence available to police. In this tell all book, the authors take you deeper into The Family than has ever been done before.
