The unit that caught was below me, and I had my windows open at the time (wasn't home when it started), so sadly my microphone got damaged by a mixture of smoke and heat.

The case gained significant media attention due to its bizarre and macabre nature. In April 1935, a large tiger shark was caught in the waters near Coogee Beach. When the shark …

That man was Keith Dardeen, and he was originally thought to have been the perpetrator of a truly heinous crime. Unfortunately, his body too was found some ways away from the scene.
