An 87-year-old man, Vincent O’Dempsey, appeared in a Brisbane court facing charges for the murder of Vincent Raymond Allen. The case, a decades-old cold case, resurfaced following alleged statements made by O’Dempsey referencing the notorious Snowtown killers in South Australia. During questioning, O’Dempsey reportedly made a startling admission, stating those responsible for the murder “used the wrong acid,” hinting at an attempt to dispose of evidence. The committal hearing is underway to determine if there is sufficient evidence to proceed to trial. Details surrounding the original investigation and the connection to the Snowtown murders are being presented. The court appearance marks a significant development in a case that has remained unsolved for many years.
