In Queanbeyan you can get done for murder

The Canberra Times informs us that Benjamin Wayne Holcroft will spend the next 17 years in prison having been found guilty of the murder of Danny Ralph.

This concludes the saga of the Beaudeans immortalised in verse by our own PBO:

Beaudean, beaudean, beaudean, beaudean
Im begging of you please don’t drown that man
Beaudean, beaudean, beaudean, beaudean
Please don’t take him out just because you can

Your mum could have her choice of men
But she could never love again
He’s drowned and dead, beaudean

Taneeka had that talk with you
Mums happiness depended on you
And whatever Ben decided to do, beaudean

Beaudean, beaudean, beaudean, beaudean
Im begging of you please don’t drown that man
Beaudean, beaudean, beaudean, beaudean

“In Queanbeyan YOUSE can get done for murder”.

Tragic all round really. PBO, I really like your poem even though it is confronting.

Yet another reason why Queanbeyan is superior.

Spare a thought for the jury – a senior Commonwealth public servant had to take leave to recover from the experience, apparently the evidence was harrowing.
