On 22 March 1954, Andrew Dingwall, a 50-year-old newsagent was murdered by 19-year-old Patrick Joseph Platts who violently stabbed Dingwall 17 times and slashed his throat during a bungled robbery of Dingwall's newsagency in Mount Morgan, Queensland.

  • On 22 March 1954, Andrew Dingwall, a 50-year-old newsagent was murdered by 19-year-old Patrick Joseph Platts who violently stabbed Dingwall 17 times and slashed his throat during a bungled robbery of Dingwall's newsagency in Mount Morgan, Queensland. Dingwall had attempted to confront Platts after he caught him trespassing on his premises before Platts used a sheath knife to fatally stab Dingwall in a frenzied attack before escaping in a taxi to Rockhampton and throwing the weapon into the river from the Fitzroy Bridge. On 19 May 1954, Platts was convicted by a jury of wilful murder and sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour at Stuart Creek Gaol near Townsville. On 11 June 1955, Platts escaped from the gaol with fellow inmate Stanley Gordon Taylor, prompting a widespread search. They were both eventually recaptured, but their escape prompted an inquiry into the administration of Stuart Creek Gaol. (en)
