Murder accused Jason Roberts took police to the site of buried evidence connected to the shooting deaths of officers Gary Silk and Rodney Miller more than a decade earlier, a trial has heard.
In the 20 years since Jason Roberts first stood trial for murder, nothing much has changed physically in the Supreme Court. But there is one big difference.
A police radio transmission in the minutes after Sergeant Gary Silk and Senior Constable Rodney Miller were fatally shot referred to “two offenders”, according to a recording played to a trial.
Darren Sherren saw his colleagues Gary Silk and Rodney Miller talking to a motorist in Moorabbin moments before they were fatally shot in 1998, but has told a court he could not see if there was a second person inside the suspect car.
Victims of armed robberies committed in the months before two police officers were shot dead have told a trial there was a power structure between the two bandits.
