There were two more murders, 15 miles away in the silver-racement.

We have a weird...

...described by one investigator as reminiscent of a weird religion.

Morning.

Cuff of murder.

Being an informant, well helpful, puts you in a terrifying position.

On May 16, 2004, a man would pay for his crimes, the crimes that led him to be an informant with his life and the life of his wife.

So, if you like your coffee hot but your bones chilled, sit back and start your day with a morning cup of murder.

Terence Hodson, after an arrest, chose to become a police informant in 2002 and avoid hard prison time.

He had a wife and kids, so it seemed like the better option.

The man who arrested him, Melbourne Drug Squad Detective David Michel, would become his handler.

Together on grand final weekend in

September of 2003, Terrence and an off-duty David were arrested for the burglary of a home in East

Oakley. This home was storing approximately $1.3 million in ecstasy pills, and was soon rated by the drug squad.

Terence Hotson then turned around and had something interesting to say. He claimed that he had

evidence for the ethical standards detectives, who were investigating the robbery against

not just his accomplice, Detective David Michel, but Drug Squad Detective Paul Dale.

Within 48 hours, Terence's sensitive police file, with all of the evidence he ever gave as an informant,

All three men were charged in December of 2003.

Shortly after, Terence's missing file was leaked and
