Old October Tales: The Gatton Murders
October 23, 2022
In the town of Gatton, west of Brisbane and the capital of what was known then as the Colony of Queensland in Australia, the Murphy family owned a farm at Blackfellow’s Creek.
Michael and his brother Daniel Murphy had both left Gatton, Michael working on a government farm near Westbrook and Daniel was a police constable in Brisbane.
On December 26, 1898, Michael, who had come home for the holidays had taken his sister Ellen to the Mount Sylvia Races in nearby Caffey. At 8pm, Michael, Ellen and their other sister, Norah, left home to go to a dance that was at the Gatton Hall. When they arrived at the dance at 9pm, they found out it had been cancelled and decided to return home. They never made it back.
Early the next morning, December 27, 1898, Mrs. Murphy asked her son in law, William M’Neill to look for Michael, Ellen and Norah in Gatton. Michael had actually borrowed William’s sulky (a light weight two wheeled cart horses are hitched to) and William noticed his sulky’s tracks turning off the road through a slip rail. William followed the tracks over a km before he found the bodies of his relatives.
All three of the siblings bodies were found in a field 1.2 miles from Gatton. Michael and Ellen were lying back to back within 2 feet of each other. Norah was laying on a neatly spread rug, 28 feet to the east. Both Ellen and Norah had their hands tied behind their backs with handkerchiefs.
The sulky faced south, and had formed a triangle between Michael and Norah. William’s horse had been shot in the head. The siblings legs were arranged with their feet pointing west.
William went to the Brian Boru Hotel in Gatton and told the patrons of the murder, which resulted in around 40 people rushing to the murder scene, which could destroy evidence.
William was later criticized for not going directly to the police but testified that he had asked where he could find the police sergeant at the hotel. William did contact the Acting-Sergeant William Arrell, who arranged for police from Brisbane to come to the scene. However, further delays led to officers not arriving until 48 hours after the bodies had been discovered.
Daniel, the brother of the victims who was a police officer got a telegram from a family friend on December 27, informing him of the murders. Daniel got a three day leave but failed to catch the 1pm train to Gatton. When returning to the headquarters, Daniel discovered that no action had been taken as there was rumours that the murders were a hoax.
At 4pm on December 28, it was confirmed the murders were not a hoax, but the Commissioner of Police was not informed until 5 hours later because the info did not come through official channels.
The bodies had been moved to the hotel. An autopsy was conducted by Dr. Von Lossberg. It was determined that Michael had been shot and struck with a blut instrument on the right side of his head. Ellen had her skull fractured by two blows to the left side of her head. It was also determined that Michael and Ellen were sitting upright and back to back when struck.
Norah had been struck on the left side of her head, her brain was actually protruding out from the skull. Norah had a harness strap tied around her neck, which was so tight it could have caused her death. Both Ellen and Norah had been raped, and semen was found on their clothes. It appeared they both had been raped with the brass mounted handle of a whip, the whip was never found.
William, the brother in law who had found the bodies, testified that Michael’s hands were not tied when he first saw the body, but it did appear that his hands had been tied behind his back at some point, with one holding an open purse.
All other witnesses stated that Michael’s hands were not tied, but that a breeching strap lay nearby, and an empty purse was lying a short distance from the body.
When Michael’s body was removed from the scene around 1:30pm, he was found to have the breeching strap between his untied hands, with the empty purse in one hand. The purse was known to have about 15 shillings in it (about $100 in 2010), the night before, so it was speculated that someone may have untied Michael’s hands to get to the purse.
Witnesses and police determined Michael to have been shot in the head, but Von Lossberg did not find this, despite claims that he had been asked to look for a bullet. The bodies had been exhumed, and it was found that the original autopsies were no more than an examination from Von Lossberg.
Decomposition was advanced but it was found that Michael had indeed been shot in the right side of his head and then struck on the same spot with a blunt instrument. This would have partially obscured the bullet hole, but the bullet was recovered from his skull.
Sub-Inspector Percy Galbraith testified that Von Lossberg told him he had completed the autopsies and said he found what looked like a bullet hole with no exit wound but couldn’t find the bullet in the skull.
Von Lossberg testified that he told Galbraith he had not performed an autopsy because he was suffering from blood poisoning and did not want the bodies to be buried.
William, the brother in law had contacted Sergeant Arrell at 9:15am on December 27. They both went to the murder scene and were there for 30 minutes; in this time, Arrell had not taken any notes, did not interview anyone present, and made no effort to protect the site from people destroying the crime scene.
Arrell requested an urgent telegram be sent, but was told the police had no authority to send urgent telegrams; however this was not true and Arrell was later criticized for not knowing he had that authority.
An investigation went on for 5 months, but no one was charged with the murders. There were rumours of cover-ups and incest in the Murphy family but they were only rumours and never were proven.
A man named Theo Farmer, also known as Thomas Day and Thomas Furner, was the prime suspect for the Gatton murders. Thomas was employed as a butcher in Gatton and lived in a hut around 900 feet from the murder scene. He had been witnessed walking along the road on previous nights where the Murphy siblings had disappeared.
A witness claimed to have seen Thomas washing blood from a pullover a few days later. There was also evidence against him that he had been involved in the killing of a man named Alfred Stephen Hill in nearby Oxley, a few weeks before the Gatton murders. The same revolver had been used in both crimes.
In 1906, a revolver with the same number as the shots spent in the Oxley and Gatton murders was found near the butchery where Thomas worked. Thomas enlisted in the army shortly after being questioned but left in May 1899.
In 1900, he was admitted to the Sydney Hospital in New South Wales under his alias name, Thomas Furner, suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He died on October 25, 1900, though his death was withheld from public knowledge by the police and governments until 1918.

Well, I lost myself in other's melodies,
I was singing songs that were never meant for me
I tried to heal everyone's heartache but my own
Hiding behind their grief so I didn't feel alone
Well, I lost myself searching for my worth
I was looking in the places I've been hurt
I sought out healing at the broken-hearted's feet
Now the only one who's breaking my heart these days
Is me
