Grieving ex-cop leads memorial ride for police sergeant found dead at home
The ride two police mates never completed becomes a memorial journey as colleagues unite to honour a sergeant who took his own life with a service weapon.
Warning: Distressing content
The last message former police officer Mitch Wrigley received from his colleague and close friend will forever haunt him.
“He wanted to do a ride with me. I couldn’t make it. I had told him to set a date and I would make it work, but I couldn’t. It’s ruined me,” Mitch told news.com.au.
His friend, Sergeant Anthony Baillie – affectionately known as Bails and the name preferred by his family – was tragically found deceased in his Bateau Bay home on Monday, April 6, with a gunshot wound from a police-issue firearm.

Authorities have confirmed there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.
Bails’ passing is now the subject of a Law Enforcement Conduct Commission Review.
Police sources have revealed the review will investigate how the sergeant managed to take a firearm home to his Central Coast residence after a night shift. It is understood he was designated an “internal sergeant”, meaning he was not permitted to carry a weapon due to mental health concerns.

Mitch, police colleagues and family and friends of Bails are for now focused on honouring the life of the much loved police officer.
“I just wish I could have done more for him,” Mitch said.
Mitch fondly remembered Bails as a truly exceptional individual who would go to great lengths for anyone, “even if it meant he copped criticism for it.”

“He always had your back and would fight for the troops below him before protecting himself.”
This Wednesday, Mitch, along with Bails’ father, other family members, and police colleagues, will embark on the very route the two men had planned to ride together.
Mitch is organising this ride in honour of Bails, aiming to make it “the biggest thing as he really enjoyed being out on his bike.”
“His ride of choice, which we did together many times, is the ride we will be doing,” Mitch said.
“I want to make this a big event to show how much he was loved as a son, father, brother, uncle, and friend. This ride means the world to me, and I would love as much support on the ride. If you can offer any support, big or small, it will all be greatly appreciated.”
He urged, “If you know Bails, know of him, or want to support a friend riding, please make every effort you can to attend.”

A GoFundMe page has been established ( by others ) and can be found on this link: gofund.me/774e84e0b
My name is David Vea and I represent the players, coaches and volunteers of Randwick Rugby Club and we are distraught at the loss of one of our most loyal clubmen ever in Peter Meagher or ‘Marzo’ as everyone universally called him.
Marzo was a much loved figure and absolute legend in our club, with over 40 years of voluntary involvement, he was one of the heart and soul figures of Randwick Rugby. He was also a highly respected long term referee who was well known in Sydney Rugby circles. In his professional life, Peter served for almost 4 decades in the NSW Police Force and retired as a Detective Sergeant, where he was hugely respected by his Police colleagues.
Tragically, Peter was one of the 15 victims of the Bondi Beach shooting and he was sadly lost while performing yet another voluntary role as a photographer to support the ill-fated Chanukah by the Sea event. Peter developed a close affinity with the Jewish Community and supported them for many years voluntarily photographing events and the like, as a result of his wife Virginia Wynne-Markham working at Kesser Torah College in Dover Heights. They both had a strong connection with Rabbi Schlanger, who was also tragically killed at Bondi.
While we are one of the best known clubs in rugby, at our roots Randwick Rugby is simply an amateur community club. Since this awful tragedy unfolded, we have had so many people reach out to see how they could support Marzo, so our player leadership group unanimously decided to it would seek to raise funds in his honour to help financially support his devastated wife, Virginia. Therefore, we have set up this GoFundMe Page to give people the most tangible way to do so.
Virginia is dealing with unimaginable grief and huge uncertainty with the loss of her much loved husband. While they were an uncle and aunt to many nieces and nephews, Peter and Virginia had no children of their own, so he is an irreplaceable hole in her life day to day.
The tragic irony is that Peter spent so long working in the dangerous front line as a Police Officer, but was struck down in retirement while voluntarily taking photos at what was supposed to be a joyful community event in his hobby. It is really difficult to comprehend.
How Your Donation Will Help
All funds raised will go directly to support Virginia who still works fulltime and will greatly help her long-term financial security and assist with many expenses that now confront her in the short term. She is the beneficiary and will receive the funds directly.
Please Give What You Can
No amount is too small and every donation will honour Peter’s legacy and will help support Virginia which we know would have been his greatest concern. If you are unable to give any money, then you can still help by sharing this page or promoting it to your family, friends colleagues and other networks.
Peter ‘Marzo’ Meagher has loyally served all parts of his community in both his professional life and voluntarily in so many areas and for so long. He has helped countless people and community groups, so selflessly over so many years and, in his family’s, darkest hour, it’s our turn to reciprocate and support them so please be generous. We also send our love to all the victims, their families and the Jewish Community at this tragic time.
Yours Sincerely
David Vea
On behalf of the Randwick Rugby Players Leadership Group

He is the grandson of legendary Wallaby Wally, who was inducted into the Wallabies Hall of Fame in 2012 and also proved an integral part of the club’s early years and identity.
“’Marzo’ as he was universally known, was a much loved figure and absolute legend in our club, with decades of voluntary involvement, he was one of the heart and soul figures of Randwick Rugby,” the club said in a statement.
“For much of the last decade Marzo has been our trusted First Grade Manager and this news has already hit our players, coaches, managers, volunteers and supporters extremely hard. Prior to that he was also a highly respected long term referee who was well known and respected in Sydney Rugby circles.
“Our deepest condolences go to his wife Virginia, his brothers Greg, David, Andrew and Paul, their extended families and mountain of friends across Randwick Rugby, NSW Police, Sydney Rugby Referees and our local community.

“Rest in Peace ‘Marzo’ – we all love you and will miss you greatly. We are devastated.”
“Rugby Australia, NSW Rugby Union and the Waratahs join Randwick and the entire rugby community in mourning Peter Meagher, who lost his life during Sunday’s Bondi terror attack,” a joint statement said.
“Peter was a beloved member of the Galloping Greens, dedicating countless hours as first grade team manager and a volunteer referee, and followed in the footsteps of his father Ron and grandfather Wally, a Wallabies Hall of Famer, in serving the club.
“We extend our sincere condolences to Peter’s family, friends and clubmates as well as all the victims of Sunday’s tragedy.
“We also thank our first responders, emergency services and everyday citizens for their selfless heroism in the face of terror.
After Retiring from his 40 year employ with NSWPF, Pete ( a non Jew ) was a photographer with Marzo Photography ( his own business ) doing Corporate, Event & Architectural photography from Botany, NSW.
He was performing this task in Archer Park ( 25 Campbell Pde ), at Bondi Beach, NSW, for the Chanukah ( Hanukkah ) celebrating the first day of the Jewish holiday when he was gunned down and murdered, together with 15 others murdered and near 30 additional people shot, by two Terrorists who were father and son.
He was also the current Manager at Randwick Rugby Club.

My dad loved being a police officer. He joined the force right out of high school. Law was his life, even from when he was young. I’ll never forget the day he became a lawyer in Canberra.
