A man who shot his partner dead in Melbourne and then turned the illegally obtained gun on himself had a string of criminal convictions.
Marilyn Burdon, 70, was found dead at her Kew home in 2017. Her partner, Charles Bisucci, killed her and then himself.
An inquest is looking at how the former solicitor who had his gun licence cancelled and 15 of his firearms seized in 2004, was able to keep accessing weapons.
One of the seized guns, a Winchester rifle, was used in the murder-suicide.
It ended up being registered in the name of Bisucci s friend, Sebastian Carmuciano, Victoria s Coroners Court was told on Monday.
