THE final two witnesses are to give evidence on Thursday at a cold case inquest into the 1974 murders of two Sydney nurses.
One is “person of interest” Desmond Hilton, whose 2008 interview with police has already been played to the court.
In the interview, Hilton said suspects in the killings had bragged to him about “giving two girls a good hiding” in 1974.
He also said he had seen one washing blood from his hands.
It’s the second inquest into the murders of Lorraine Wilson, 20, and Wendy Evans, 18, after a 1985 probe failed to result in any arrests.
The pair disappeared while hitchhiking in Queensland in October 1974.
Their skeletal remains were found two years later in bushland at Murphys Creek, near the southern Queensland city of Toowoomba.
On Wednesday, key suspects Terrence O’Neill and Allan Neil Laurie denied involvement in the murders.
The inquest, which began on Monday, has heard from several witnesses who said they saw two women matching the nurses’ descriptions being forced into a green Holden around the time they disappeared.
