Megan Kalajzich murder

My initial thoughts upon learning that there may be a post-Christmas release of the ailing Andrew Kalajzich to his family's custody: It has been my experience that self-made multimillionaires are rarely so incompetent as to bungle such a job themselves and rarely associate with others who are of such incompetence.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Megan Kalajzich was shot twice through the head as she slept beside her husband, Andrew in Fairlight, Sydney, Australia, at about 1am on 27 January 1986. Her husband Andrew Kalajzich is currently serving a 28 year jail sentence for conspiracy to murder. He maintains his innocence.

11-12 January 1986
Megan Kalajzich is assaulted in her carport. Four more attempts on her life are made in the following 2 weeks.

27 January 1986
Megan Kalajzich is murdered at her Fairlight home.

14 February 1986
Andrew Kalajzich, Bill Vandenberg, Warren Elkins and Kerry Orrock are arrested. Kalajzich is charged with the murder of Megan Kalajzich and conspiracy to murder. Vandenberg is charged with the murder of, conspiracy to murder and feloniously assaulting Megan Kalajzich on 11 January 1986 with intent to murder. Mr Elkins and Mr Orrock are charged with conspiracy to murder Megan Kalajzich.

7 July 1986
Committal hearings begin for the four accused murderers including Andrew Kalajzich.

At first police believed Megan had been the victim of a bungled robbery, but this was soon discounted, as there were no signs of forced entry to the house. An exhaustive investigation fails to come up with any leads until an informant told police he had been offered a contract to kill Megan but had turned it down.[2]

Bill Vandenberg confessed to being the "Triggerman" and subsequently committed suicide in prison. In his confession, Vandenberg claimed he fired two bullets into Megan's head and then two bullets into Andrew's pillow a few centimetres from his head. He claimed he deliberately missed, so that it would look as if Andrew had also been a target.

ADDENDUM: While the above related to my initial thoughts concerning the several attempts on the death of his wife, it is now my opinion that wealthy, self-made millionaire businessmen indeed do commit crimes in an obscenely foolish manner and do indeed make decisions to associate with the most unwisely selected companions.

The verdict was just. The sentence, under Australian law, was just. Guilty! Guilty of murder! Guilty of greed! Guilty of utter stupidity!
