  • The Wettenhall family murders was the 1992 triple shooting murder of three members of the Wettenhall family, Darcy Wettenhall, 50, his son Guy Wettenhall, 23 and Janet Wettenhall, 81, at Ceres, Victoria on March 18, 1992. The accused, Wayne Garry Walton, was a 23 year old troubled man with convictions for theft who worked as a farm hand and labourer at the Wettenhall family's stud farm, after meeting Darcy Wettenhall at the Gill Memorial Home for Men, a homeless shelter located in Melbourne. Walton, who became involved in a sexual relationship with Darcy Wettenhall prior to the murders, was apprehended by police the following day while driving a stolen car and in possession of items taken from the Wettenhall family's farm. He was charged with three counts of murder. Walton suicided by hanging using a television cable inside a management and supervision section of Pentridge Prison's B Division on February 22, 1993, while awaiting trial for the murders. The murders brought an end to the Wettenhall family's stud farm operations and the Stanbury property was sold by auction in December 1992, purchased by former Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria president, Stephen Spargo, and his wife Jill. A non-fiction book based on the murders, Devils Grip, A True Story of Shame, Sheep and Shotguns, was written by Neall Drinan with Bob Perry and published in 2019. (en)
