WARNING: Graphic content A woman found her sister with “her head caved in” hours after a neighbour heard an altercation and “a whack like a baseball bat hitting a skull”, the trial of an alleged serial killer has been told. Mildura man Steven Leslie Hainsworth, 49, is on trial in the South Australian Supreme Court for the murders of Phyllis Harrison, 71, at Elizabeth South in 1998, Beverley Hanley, 64, at Elizabeth North in 2010 and Stephen Newton, 55, at Mt Gambier in 2011.
” D’Agostino said he “got a bit agitated”. “I said ‘Leonard, you better do something’. I went around to her house … it was dead quiet.” Hanley’s sister Cheryl McGee told the court she arrived at Hanley’s home mid-afternoon to drop off homemade tomato sauce. She knocked on the front door and when there was no answer, she went into the house and started shouting “where are you?” because Hanley had poor hearing. McGee checked her sister’s bedroom which was “a mess … everything was everywhere”.
