Canberra Times (ACT : 1926 – 1995),

Friday 18 March 1977, page 10

Policeman gets compensation

SYDNEY, Thursday. — A police officer who still has fragments of a thief’s bullet in his body, was awarded $4,000 compensation today in Central Criminal Court.

Mr Justice Slattery awarded Senior Constable Graham Gerald Bishop, 35, of Ashfield, the maximum compensation under Section 437 of the Crimes Act.

Constable Bishop was shot at Narrandera in January, 1976, in an attempt to arrest an escaper, Mr Mark Robert Evans, 17.

The .22 rifle bullet struck Constable Bishop in the back of his left shoulder, chipping the shoulder-blade and fragmenting.

Mr Evans later pleaded guilty to five charges, including one of maliciously wounding Constable Bishop with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and last November was sentenced to seven years’ jail for that offence.

Mr Justice Slattery read reports from four doctors which said it was likely Constable Bishop‘s future ” would be associated with increasing pain “.

Thursday 18 September 2025 @ 11.15am

I’d let you know that I had received very sad information that Narrandera Former GD’s Police Officer Reg No. 13736, Riverina RFPA Member ID 77 Kevin Barber had been admitted into Wagga Base Hospital for a major operation a couple of weeks ago for brain tumors and then taken a turn for the worst after a fall & they had discovered a brain bleed & clot.
Sadly, there was nothing they could be done and he was placed in palliative care but sadly he passed away at 10.30pm last night. ( Wednesday 17 September 2025 ).
I have informed Ian Moore, as the NSW RFPA Welfare officer and also the NSW RFPA Secretary Ian Lovell and I will update when I receive any further updates in relation to service details.
