True crime enthusiasts in the west are in for a treat.
At 6.30pm on Friday August 16, former homicide detective Charlie Bezzina will host a talk about one of the most high-profile cases in Victorian history at Melton Entertainment Park.
The Frankston serial killer, Paul Denyer, murdered three women in the early 1990s before being arrested by police and charged.
Mr Bezzina, who was on the infamous case, said people can look forward to a detailed breakdown of the investigation not offered anywhere else before.
“The story has been told many a time but here you have an opportunity to hear from the investigator involved as opposed to hearing it through the media,” he said.
“A significant amount of people have read about it over a number of years but here’s a chance to hear about it live.”
A thrilling combination of evidence, interview footage, and key elements of the investigation that led to the charges will all be revealed to illustrate the depth and gravity of the crime, Mr Bezzina said.
“The investigator’s point of view, from finding the first murder to finally making the arrest the day after we found one of the victims, will show what is involved in such a significant investigation.”
Morbid curiosity is an undeniable part of human nature and Mr Bezzina will provide an insight into a real world example.
“This is one of those rare moments – and thank goodness it’s rare – that we have a serial killer amongst us,” he said.
Attendees will also have the chance to ask questions about the case and other crime-related matters.
Tickets are $45 and include a meal.
