Greenough Family Massacre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Greenough Family Massacre refers to the murders of Karen MacKenzie, 31 and her three children, Daniel 16, Amara 7 & Katrina 5 at their remote rural property in Greenough, Western Australia on February 21, 1993 [1] .
As mentioned on Crime Investigation Australia the exact way of how Daniel and Amara died were deemed to be kept secret and ruled that the details never ever be revealed to the public and to this day remain a secret.[2]
It took police 5 or more weeks to catch their murderer William Patrick Mitchell who was convicted of the murders in 1995 at the age of 24 and sentenced to life imprisonment, with a non-parole period of 20 years.
