Murdered man ‘easy-going’ model prisoner
SYDNEY: A 41-year-old day-release prisoner found murdered in Sydney’s west at the weekend often spent three hours a day quoting passages from the Bible, police said yesterday.
Detectives investigating the apparent execution-style slaying of Bruno Morabito, who was serving an eight year sentence for drug offences, painted the victim as a model prisoner who was quiet and had recently “turned to religion”.
“He was an easy-going bloke who would spend up to three hours a day quoting passages from the Bible,” Detective Sergeant Heinrich Kornacki of Flemington police said yesterday.
Morabito, a day-release prisoner from Sydney’s Silverwater Jail, was found lying face down in a pool of blood by a night watchman in Derby Street, Silverwater, shortly before 8pm on Saturday. He had extensive head injuries, bullet wounds in the chest and back and had been stabbed.
Robbery has been ruled out as the motive for the killing as Morabito had $600 on his body.
Police were concentrating investigations on the dead man’s criminal background.
They have established Morabito was killed elsewhere and his body dumped in Derby Street.
Sergeant Kornacki said there was a sizeable list of people who may have wanted to see Morabito dead.
“It looks like someone wanted to get even with him,” he said.
Sergeant Kornacki said investigations had also spread to Queensland because Morabito was due to stand trial on charges relating to a multi million-dollar marijuana plantation uncovered near Townsville more than three years ago.
Morabito was one of five men arrested in July, 1986, in raids on homes in Sydney, Griffith in south-western NSW, and northern Queensland in a joint operation by detectives investigating a $4 million marijuana crop.
Police learned of the plantation in northern Queensland while investigating the disappearance and suspected murder of a former Griffith builder named in the 1979 Woodward Royal Commission into drug trafficking.
They believe Nunzio Greco was murdered after disappearing from his
Windsor home in Sydney’s north western outskirts on January 7, 1986.
The Royal Commission report said the builder-bricklayer was used to launder drug money by building houses for drug bosses.
On June 26, 1987, the Sydney District Court was told there was documentation from the Bureau of Criminal Intelligence that “Morabito was seen in the company of Nunzio Greco in December, 1985, and January, 1986”.
In July, 1987, Morabito was jailed for eight years for conspiring to cultivate a plantation of cannabis at Byrock, 80km east of Bourke in far western NSW, in July, 1983.
Sergeant Kornacki said police had not ruled out the possibility Morabito’s murder was connected with his future appearance in a Queensland court.
Morabito was last seen leaving Duffy Brothers Fruit market in Station Road, Wentworthville, in Sydney’s west, at 6pm on Saturday.
The day-release prisoner worked a 12-hour day at the market from 6am to 6pm.
Police say Morabito’s routine method of returning to the jail each night was to catch the train from Wentworthville to Auburn Station and then walk to the prison.
But Sergeant Kornacki said police have also learned that on several past occasions Morabito had been picked up by “friends”, although detectives have not yet established their identity.

Police ethics ‘under watch’
SYDNEY: A closer examination of police ethics was promised yesterday when the NSW Minister for Police, Mr Pickering, announced three new assistant commissioners.
Detective Chief Superintendent Tony Lauer, 52, will take on the new portfolio of Assistant Commissioner of Professional Responsibility.
He would concentrate on internal affairs and enforcing ethical standards within the force, Mr Pickering said.
NSW Police Commissioner Mr John Avery said police ethics and conduct would “come under close inspection” under the new portfolio.
“We are not just on some evangelical kick,” he added.
“We will broaden the police education program to raise police ethical standards as well as new ways of dealing with people after an accident or crime.”
NSW’s other new Assistant Commissioners are Superintendent Charles Parsons and Chief Superintendent Laurie Poulton.
The appointments follow the retirements of three of the state’s seven assistant commissioners.
SYDNEY: Young Australians should be encouraged to form vigilante groups to try to combat the rising tide of crime, particularly violent crime, the NSW president of the Returned Services League, Sir Colin Hines, said yesterday.
But both the police and the NSW Council for Civil Liberties warned that vigilante groups could become uncontrolled, hurting civil rights.
Sir Colin said that from what he had seen and read, vigilante groups in the United States comprised a fine type of young person who was “ready to get out and stop all this type of crime”.
He understood that people would want to protect themselves from muggings, assaults and theft.
“I’d love to see our young people encouraged to do this sort of thing in this country,” he said.
It would not be dangerous provided it was “controlled” by the authorities, who should encourage it.
Chief Superintendent Laurie Poulton, of the NSW Police Community Relations Bureau, said police were opposed to the idea of vigilante groups.
With community-involvement activities such as the drug-line Operation Noah, Neighbourhood Watch, School Watch and Safety Houses for Children, information was referred to police, who carried out any follow-up action. Vigilantism could get out
of control.
“With the police we can control it very closely and we can ensure that civil liberties are not breached,” he said.
The secretary of the NSW Civil Liberties Council, Ms Beverley Schurr, said the council supported the police desire for “community policing”, but only because police had guaranteed that it would not lead to vigilantism.
Six pupils of Westmead Junior Technical School will leave for an educational tour of Northern Queensland and the Barrier Reef on August 23.
The pupils are David Weir, Colin Borne, Laurence Poulton, Fred Swan, Willoughby Harmer, and Barry Robertson. Conducted by the Young Australia League, the tour will cost each boy £15.
Two hundred pupils from schools in N.S.W. and Victoria are expected to take part in the tour.
The boys will travel from Brisbane by Special train for Northern Queensland, and this will be followed by the cruise to the Barrier Reef.
Five pupils of Westmead Junior Technical School are on their way to a National Fitness Camp at Broken Hill. They left by train last Thursday morning.

THE CORONATION. — Trooper H. Garlick, a popular member of Molong Mounted Rifles, proceeded to Sydney, last Thursday night, preparatory to embarking for England with the Commonwealth Horse, to take part in the Coronation festivities. This is a good thing for Hubert, and all who know him will wish him a good time on the holiday trip. His experience ought to be more agreeable than when in South Africa.

INSPECTOR GARLICK RETIRES ———————
An echo of the famous ” Coogee Bones Case ” was raised yesterday by the retirement of Inspector H. G. E. Garlick, for years one of the ‘ Big Four ‘ of Sydney C.I.B. Known everywhere as ‘Phil’ Garlick, he was several times commended for bravery while arresting armed criminals.
Inspector Garlick is the second youngest son of the late George Garlick, who carried on a blacksmith business where Ray Shreeves’ garage is now situated, in Bank Street, Molong, for over 30 years. He learned the trade before joining the police force.
He used to be a constant visitor to Molong for many years. His mother is still living, in the city. Mr. Lloyd Morris, of Cudal, Boree Shire engineer, is a nephew.
He caught that remarkable individual Frank Lord, the Cambridge scholar and poet, whom Garlick proved to be the mysterious ” Foot-prints King.”
Lord faced 115 charges of breaking and entering, was convicted, and left Australia after serving his sentence. His method was to manipulate locks with a pair of foot-print pliers.
When arrested by Detectives Garlick and Jones he carried a mask and a fully loaded automatic pistol.
Colorful
One of the most colorful criminals Australia has ever gaoled was apprehended by Garlick.
That was the aged Albert H. Thompson, self-styled Inventors’ Ambassador, who was sentenced to four years and three years for false pretences after obtaining £45,000 in connection with a company which he promoted.
Some years earlier Thompson had won a world award made by a New York life insurance company for writing life insurance business.
As a reward he enjoyed a world trip and wore a medal with a huge diamond in it. He even wore it in the dock, when he addressed the judge for no less than 8½ hours, and after serving his sentence, Thompson flaunted it as he walked up the gangway to embark for U.S.A.
Woman Buried
But it was in the Coogee Bones Case that Garlick ‘s skill as a patient and shrewd investigator became recognised. The case made world history.
For over a year Garlick had information that a woman had been cut up and buried after an operation, and his diary recorded an accurate description of the victim. But, strangely enough, no such woman was reported missing.
Efforts to trace the burial place were unsuccessful for many months.
Then word came from England that a Mrs. Hayden was missing; Garlick investigated a city garage and found a piece of human arm bone and a couple of finger bones.
The trail led to Coogee, and police alleged that the principal in the case had died in the meantime.
But the case became famous because that brilliant young Australian, Dr. Hunter, was able to prove the weight, height, age and sex of the victim from the fragments of bone found by Garlick.
Walking about Sydney to-day is a man who was sentenced to 150 years hard labor in one day by the late Judge Docker, after being arrested by Garlick.
Another “hard case” criminal arrested several times by Garlick used to astonish both judges and juries by giving his occupation with pert unconcern as ” professional burglar. ”
Garlick first became a sergeant-major in the First Cavalry N.S.W. Mounted Rifles in the Boer War when he was only 18, and was selected to represent his regiment at King Edward VII’s Coronation in 1902.

On 23 June, 1956 the sergeant was involved in the violent arrest of an offender at the Commercial Hotel, Junee. During the incident the sergeant suffered injuries to his kidneys which subsequently led to a number of operations and ongoing medical treatment for many years afterward.
On the morning of 14 April, 1962 Sergeant Cavanagh, then the Officer In Charge of the Morisset Police Station, collapsed on duty and was conveyed to the Newcastle Hospital. He remained in a semi-coma until he sadly passed away a week later. The cause of death was kidney failure caused by his injuries in 1956.
R. E. Cavanagh of Junee was promoted from Constable 1st Class to Senior Constable around 24 December 1954 as advertised in The Sydney Morning Herald, Friday 24 December 1954 on page 3 of 12.
The sergeant was born on 15 March 1915 and joined the New South Wales police Force on 25 August, 1939. At the time of his death he was stationed at Morisset.
Reg’s son, Geoff, last saw his dad being carried out of the Morisset Police Station on a stretcher to an ambulance in full uniform but never saw him again.
