Wanda Beach Murders - Linked cases - Encyclopedia II

Two murders occurred during early 1966 which, police speculated, might have been the work of the Wanda Beach murderer.

On 29 January 1966, a cleaning lady named Wilhelmina Kruger was murdered in the Piccadilly Arcade in Wollongong. Her body was discovered by a local butcher when he arrived to open his shop. Police believed that the murder might have been the work of the Wanda Beach murderer, but would not say why they believed this.

On 17 February 1966, a prostitute named Annya Dowlingkoa went missing after leaving a nightclub in Kings Cross. Ten days later, her body was found at the side of a road in Menai. Police immediately linked her murder with that of Wilhelmina Kruger. Again, they believed that the murder might have been the work of the Wanda Beach murderer, but would not say why they believed this. The murders of Wilhelmina Kruger and Annya Dowlingkoa are far less well known now than the Wanda Beach murders.
