NSW Fallen Police FB Group:

Judicial Career & Notable Cases: Contempt Rulings: Gained statewide media attention for exercising judicial powers, such as sentencing individuals for contempt of court in regional registries. Criminal & Drug Sentencing: Presided over high-profile regional drug and assault trials, famously issuing stern public warnings regarding alcohol-fuelled violence and “king-hit” attacks in the Riverina district. Mental Health Act Applications: Frequently utilised provisions under the NSW Mental Health Act to direct troubled offenders towards institutional and agency support rather than custodial sentences where appropriate. Aged & Extenuating Circumstances: Noted for balancing community protection with pragmatic compassion, such as discharging elderly or pressured defendants on good behaviour bonds when distinct extenuating circumstances apply. Public Advocacy: Spoke out publicly regarding regional courthouse operations, resource allocation, and government cost-cutting measures affecting smaller regional communities in the Riverina.

Cronulla RSL Sub Branch is with Cronulla RSL Community.

4 June 2026

VALE RON SHAW

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Ron Shaw.

Ron served as the Pension Officer for the Cronulla RSL Sub Branch for more than 15 years, assisting numerous veterans with their applications and claims to the DVA.

In recognition of his exceptional volunteer service, Ron was honoured as a Life Member of RSL NSW in 2022.

In 2023, Ron delivered a remarkable ANZAC Address during our Dawn Service in Cronulla, dedicating his words to honour our local heroes.

He was a leader, a friend, and someone you could always count on. Ron’s departure has created a significant void in our hearts.

Rest easy, dear friend.

COURT REPORTS Prisoner supplied heroin

SYDNEY: A man serving a life sentence for murder was sentenced in Parramatta District Court yesterday to three years’ jail for supplying heroin to fellow prisoners.

Mr Archibald Beattie McCafferty, 34, pleaded guilty to supplying the drug at Parramatta Jail.

Earlier, yesterday, Mr McCafferty and another prisoner had appeared in Parramatta Magistrate’s Court charged with having murdered a prison inmate last September.

In the District Court, Detective-Senior Constable Malcolm Heckenberg, of the drug squad, said prison officers had searched Mr McCafferty’s cell on November 13.

Mr McCafferty had been seated on his bed, with a large number of small, tinfoil wrappers in front of him. When the officers entered, he had grabbed the wrappers and thrown them into a dustbin.

Senior Constable Heckenberg said 110 foil-wrapped packages containing altogether 3.67 grams of heroin had been found. The average heroin content was 21 per cent.

Mr McCafferty, who, the court was told, had a 20-year criminal history and was sentenced to life imprisonment in February, 1974, on three counts of murder, declined to say anything to Judge Loveday about the heroin charge.

In the Magistrate’s Court, Mr McCafferty and Mr Kevin John Michael Gallacher, 28, entered no pleas to a charge of having murdered Mr Edward James Lloyd at Parramatta Jail on September 18.

Mr Power, SM, remanded them to the Glebe City Coroner’s Court on February 19.

Mr Lloyd was found stabbed to death inside his prison cell.

Mr Gallagher is serving a seven-year sentence for armed robbery.

An ambulance took MR Whitmore to Blacktown District Hospital in a state of shock, but otherwise unhurt.

The aeroplane has not been found.

Charged over air incident

SYDNEY: A taxi driver who ditched a police-owned light aircraft into the Prospect Reservoir was charged yesterday with having falsely claimed the aircraft had engine failure.

Before Mr McKeowen, SM., at Blacktown Court was 21-year-old Mr Trevor James Whitmore, of Maraylya.

He was charged with having made a false representation by radio transmission to Mr Kevin Albert Bishop, a member of the police force, on May 7 at Prospect.

He appeared also on three other charges related to the same incident .

These were that on May 7 at Prospect he caused $8,000 damage to a 1976 Cessna, VH-UGH, the property of Garry Chapman and other members of the NSW Police Aero Club; that being the pilot in command of the Cessna, he did not immediately before flight check arid test all flight”controls and associated equipment in the aircraft; and that he operated the aircraft in a manner which was negligent.

No pleas were taken.

The police prosecutor, Sergeant Sam Findley, said 25 witnesses would be called.

Mr McKeowen set the charges down for hearing at Parramatta Court on September 27. He allowed Mr Whitmore continuing bail of $1,000.

Aircraft crash in dam

SYDNEY: A 21-year-old man had crash-landed a light aircraft into Prospect Reservoir a short time after having learnt he had been adopted, Parramatta Court was told yesterday.

The pilot, who was on a restricted licence, had told police after the crash about his girlfriend and about how he had recently found out he had been adopted, Sergeant Trevor Cullen told the court.

He said he had told the man, Mr Trevor Whitmore, taxi driver of Maraylya, near Vineyard, that Department of Transport air-safety investigators had not been able to find anything mechanically wrong with the aircraft.

Mr Whitmore appeared before Mr R. Butler, SM, on four charges related to the crash at Prospect, an outer western suburb, on May 7.

One charge was of having a false representation by radio to Mr Kevin Albert Bishop, a member of the NSW Police Force, that the engine of his Cessna 150 had failed due to mechanical causes and that a forced landing would be imminent.

He was remanded to October 28 on $1,000 bail.

Damage charge:

trial ordered

SYDNEY: A Sydney taxi-driver was committed yesterday to stand trial on a charge of maliciously causing $11,017 damage to a Cessna 150 aeroplane on May 7.

The police prosecutor, Sergeant P. Dunkley, said that Mr Trevor James Whitmore, 22, of Maraylya, had hired the aircraft which was owned by the NSW Police Aero Club.

In a police record of interview, Mr Whitmore allegedly said he had had a quarrel with his girlfriend and had tried to commit suicide by “diving” the aircraft into a reservoir.

According to the record of interview, he had said he could not swim.

Mr Charles Gould, the reservoir’s resident officer for the Water Board, said that when the aircraft came down there were about 500 picnickers in the area.

Mr Whitmore was allowed $1,000 bail and committed to the current sittings of Parramatta District Court.

(COURT REPORTS)

Taxi driver not Qantas pilot

SYDNEY: A taxi driver flew a hired light aircraft valued at $18,000 into Prospect Reservoir, west of Sydney, after his girlfriend found out he was not a Qantas pilot, Parramatta District Court was told yesterday.

Mr Trevor James Whitmore, 23, of Maraylya had spent most of his money trying to impress his girlfriend, 18, and trying to gain her favours, but she did not take the relationship seriously, Sergeant Peter John Cullen, of Blacktown, said.

In what Judge Herron called a “Walter Mitty sydrome”, Mr Whitmore had dressed as a pilot and even given a talk at a local flying school, Sergeant Cullen said.

Mr Whitmore also had obtained air tickets for his girlfriend and her family and charged them only a fraction of the real cost.

He pleaded guilty to a charge of having maliciously injured one Cessna aircraft at prospect in May last year.

Judge Herron put Mr Whitmore on a $600 good-behaviour bond for three years. He ordered that Mr Whitmore pay $6,000 at $80 a month, for damage to the aircraft.

He also was ordered to keep in contact with the probation and parole service.

Peter John WALSH 01 - NSWPF 11722 - Died 2 May 2026 — Peter John WALSH APM
AKA Peter WALSH, Walshy

Passing of retired Senior Assistant Commissioner Peter Walsh registered number 11722.

Peter joined the NSW Police Force in 1965, retiring in 2003 following 38 years of service.

Peter dedicated his life to the service of the people of New South Wales, not only was he a Police Officer but spent many years as a member of the Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA) and was even a flight crew member with the Westpac Rescue Helicopter whilst attached to the Northern Region.

Over a distinguished career, he earned the respect of colleagues across the organisation leading through such incidents as the 1991 Strathfield massacre which saw the murder of seven people and the 1995 ambush murders of two officers in his command, Senior Constables Robert Spears and Peter Addison, at Crescent Head near Kempsey.

Beyond his rank and achievements, Peter was a mentor, a leader, and a trusted mate to many.

On behalf of our members, we extend our sincere condolences to Peter’s family, friends and former colleagues. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

May Retired Senior Assistant Commissioner Walsh rest in peace.

* Story behind any Nickname:

“Botfly” came from one of the SenCon’s at Dubbo – but I don’t know why.

“Boxhead” – no idea where / when that nickname adhered to Peter.

“Smiley” – I suppose that was on his face 99% of the time.

“Yapper” – apparently he didn’t mind a conversation.

Nothing further, than what is recorded above, is known about this person at the time of publication and further information and photos would be appreciated.
