Policemen fined for assault in Moorabbin case
In County Court, First Constable Pete Francis Gilks and First Constable Victor McKoy were ordered to pay 2000 damages to Douglas William Winch of Moorabbin after Winch alleged assault following a pursuit for dangerous driving. Medical evidence cited multiple facial fractures and extensive injuries. The officers denied striking Winch and claimed they arrested him for dangerous driving, unaware arrest powers had changed. An additional 180 in interest was awarded to Winch. No disciplinary action against the constables was announced pending judgment on the police cave examination.
