EspañolCOLIN WINCHESTER
'Colin Stanley Winchester' (18 October 1933 - 10 January, 1989) was an officer with the Australian Federal Police.
At the time of his death he was the Assistant Commissioner in charge of community policing in the Australian Capital Territory.
On 10 January 1989, he was shot and killed as he parked his car in the driveway of his house in Deakin (ACT).
David Harold Eastman was charged with his murder.
Assistant Commissioner Winchester is Australia's most senior Police Officer to have been killed in the line of duty [1].
The 1992 book, 'The Winchester Scandal' by Roderick Campbell, Brian Toohey and the (now deceased) William Pinwill outlines possible suspects and motives for the then unsolved murder. However several years later, Eastman was convicted of Winchester's murder, for the pure reason of hatred of the police, which is not as sophisticated as the book's suggestions.
