Police Probe Possibility of Mistaken Identity in “Cowardly Attack” on Farmer
- Three armed offenders invaded 68-year-old Bill Anderson's rural property near Yea, Victoria, early on June 23, assaulting him and setting his home ablaze.
- The attack followed demands for cash and firearms, with police investigating if the offenders mistakenly targeted the wrong house and victim.
- The victim was blindfolded, dragged into his car boot, taken to a paddock where he was pistol-whipped, assaulted, and doused in petrol before his home was destroyed.
- Detective Sergeant Loughlin characterized the incident as a brutal and cowardly assault targeting an elderly individual residing alone in a secluded location, and called on the community to help identify the three suspects involved.
- No arrests have been made, firearms remain stolen, and the ongoing investigation depends on further information, including from an anonymous tipster who has contacted police.
