On 27 October, 1927, Snowy Cutmore lay in his bed at his mother’s boarding house in 50 Barkly Street, Carlton. Little did he know that three men had been drinking in nearby pubs all afternoon, as they rallied themselves to confront Snowy and potentially shoot him.Three months earlier, Snowy had been in Sydney, and been tightly associated with the Razor Gang run by Norman Bruhn. Norman was shot dead in the street on 23 June 1927, resulting in Squizzy loudly announcing that he would avenge Norman’s death and get his killer.
What unfolded on 27 October has gone down in history as a moment in Australian crime history that has been shrouded in mystery, misunderstandings, forgotten information, forensics that only sought to document the crime scene without offering any solid conclusion, and a Mandela effect that wrongly suggested that Snowy and Squizzy ended their lives that night in a dual.
The Geelong Gaol Museum will host a live event to coincide with the 97th anniversary of that fatal night on Saturday, 26 October at 4pm. Hosted by guest author, historian and true crime expert, Roy Maloy, as he presents new findings from the second edition of his bestselling book, “Squizzy, The Man, The Forensics, The Vendetta.” At the presentation, you will be seated in the Gaol, with the room in which Squizzy and Snowy were shot marked out in forensic tape lines on the ground to outline the area of the room. Roy will walk through that eventful night and reenact the final scene to demonstrate his evidence of who shot who, where, and why.
Seats are strictly limited and likely to sell out so please book online as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
