Murder of Irma Palasics

 



At about 9:30 p.m. on November 6, 1999, two young men forced their way into the home of Gregor and 73-year-old Irma Palasics in the McKeller suburb of Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, Australia. The elderly couple were bound and beaten and then the men would ransack the house. They would steal cash and jewelry. Irma would pass away due to her injuries and Gregor ended up in the hospital from his injuries. 

It's suspected that the people who had done this had done this before to the couple. They were victims of burglary twice before. Once in 1997 and aggravated burglary in 1998 when they lived in Red Hill. In the 1997 burglary, the offenders stole a large amount of money and jewelry.
