NSW Police Offer $1 Million Reward to Crack 2000 Carrington Double Murder

The reward rise seeks fresh tips after a specialist review by the unsolved homicide team.

Overview

  • In May 2000 officers forced entry to a Carrington home and found Susan Kay, 32, and Joanne Teterin, 37, dead after they were last seen days earlier.
  • Police say the women were believed to have been bludgeoned to death and no arrests have ever been made in the case.
  • A coronial inquest in 2003 referred the matter to the unsolved homicide team and led to an earlier $100,000 reward that has now been increased to $1 million to prompt new information.
  • Investigators historically suspected a drug-related link after illicit substances were found at Teterin’s home, and the passage of time has made fresh witness accounts and new forensic leads especially important for progress.
  • The unsolved homicide team is continuing forensic and witness enquiries and hopes the larger reward will generate tips that could identify suspects and secure prosecutions.
