Encyclopedia > Janelle Patton

Janelle Patton was a Sydney woman who was brutally murdered on Norfolk Island in 2002. The case made national headlines in Australia, as she was the first person to be murdered there since 1855, when the island was a penal colony. Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales and with a population of over four million people is the most populous city in Australia. ... 2002 (MMII) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ... 1855 was a common year starting on Monday (see link for calendar). ...


Patton was living and working on the island at the time of her death, but was not a local.


On the 1st of February, 2006 a man was arrested for her murder near the town of Nelson, on the New Zealand South Island. He is in A.F.P custody.


(Note: Late January, 2006, the Norfolk Island Administration revoked a long-standing law enabling death by hanging for capital offences)

Ron Patton: For example, we went down the Cockpit where Janelle was found, and at the time, as I remember it, it seemed to be quite large and quite wide open, and yet when we went there the other day, it was smaller, it was sort of closer.
Carol Patton: As the afternoon wore on, and she didn’t meet up with us as planned, we drove up to where we knew she was living, and we found her car in the drive and we thought, ‘Oh, she must be here’, like we were a bit annoyed, she was supposed to be meeting us.
Ron Patton: A line in the sand has to be drawn as far as what’s happened to Janelle and other things on the Island, and I suppose you have to make a choice between good or evil, right or wrong, whether you’re going to support the police or ignore the law and the police.
