Description: On the thirtieth of June in 1993, Kevin Marsh, a sixty-year-old invalid pensioner who lived alone in public housing in the Wollongong district of New South Wales, was sitting on the balcony of his modest home. T, a local seventeen year old who had been drinking with a friend, walked past and spoke to him. Marsh gave him a smoke and invited him inside to share some drinks. The pair may have been drinking for as little as twenty minutes, when an alleged sexual pass by Marsh resulted in a physical confrontation and his violent death.
