Case 57
Walsh Street
At 11 PM on October 11 1988, Victoria Police Constables Steven Tynan and Damian Eyre began working the night shift in the Melbourne suburb of Prahran. After attending to a number of routine policing matters, they were called out to inspect a Holden Commodore that had been abandoned in Walsh Street, South Yarra.
When the two young officers arrived at the scene, they saw the car parked in the middle of the street. Nothing appeared out of the ordinary but as they went to examine the vehicle, an ambush suddenly broke out.
