Detective Sergeant Geoffrey Leigh Bowen

This allegedly links to the investigation into the drug network and underworld crimes by allegedly Abe Saffron.  

On 2nd March 1994 a parcel bomb ripped through the National Crime Authority offices in Adelaide, killing one officer. The explosion killed NCA Detective Sergeant Geoffrey Bowen and seriously wounded lawyer Peter Wallis. One man, Domenic Perre, was charged with murder over the attack but the Director of Public Prosecutions decided against proceeding with the case because of a lack of evidence.  Later, in a 1999 coronial inquest, then coroner Wayne Chivell found that Mr Perre had indeed made and sent the bomb. But neither Mr Perre nor anyone else has ever faced charges over the killing. A $1 million reward has been offered for information leading to a conviction in the case.

On 1 July 1999 Mark Steene of The Advertiser reported on Dr Kobus: "The NCA Bombing Inquest - Perre Evidence ‘Contaminated’"
He said one of the few pieces of forensic evidence once linking Domenic Perre to the National Crime Authority bombing resulted from a laboratory contamination, the Coroner’s Court was told yesterday. The evidence, a microscopic piece of primer from a bullet, labelled DP17, was found on a swab from the pants of bombing victim, NCA lawyer Mr Peter Wallis.
It was similar to primer fragments taken from a desk in the home of Perre when police searched the property shortly after the bombing. The March 2, 1994, blast killed NCA Detective Sergeant Geoffrey Bowen and severely injured Mr Wallis. Perre, an avid shooter and firearms enthusiast, used the desk to reload his ammunition.
But yesterday, State Forensic Science Centre director Dr Hilton Kobus said the sample was likely to have been contaminated when evidence from the two locations came into contact with each other. He described the incident as resulting from contamination, error, bad practice or bad luck.
“We never found a primer particle anywhere else,” Dr Kobus said. “Hindsight is a marvellous thing. We recognised earlier on that was a contamination. No particles were found again and that was why we thought the result was so spurious.”


Prepared by Dr Robert N Moles
Dr Kobus said the contamination was likely to have occurred as the minute samples were being prepared for examination under an electron microscope. He said the particles from Perre’s home and from the bombing scene were being coated with carbon, in preparation for the examination at the same time. The particle was believed to be residue from a primer cap used in ammunition to ignite the propellant and fire the bullet. The caps are ignited when struck by the firing pin of the weapon.
In other evidence yesterday, private investigator Mr Frank Carbone was asked how he located more than 120 documents belonging to gunsmith Mr Allan Chamberlain. Mr Chamberlain has also been accused of manufacturing the bomb. Mr Carbone told the court he found the documents at the Prospect gunshop where Mr Chamberlain worked, after the premises had been searched by police on March 7, 1994. When asked shy the documents had not been found by police, Mr Carbone said he did not know.
“I wasn’t present when the police searched on March 7,” he said. The inquest is continuing.

  • South Australia 51 murder, abduction and missing person


    Rewards for 51 murder, abduction and missing person cases

    A total of $11 million is available in State Government-funded rewards for 51 unsolved murders, abductions and missing persons cases.
    The crimes range from the infamous abduction of the Beaumont children on Australia Day, 1966, to the 2004 murder of Robert Woodland, who was found dead in the South Parklands with massive head injuries.
    Most crimes warrant rewards of up to $200,000 but up to $1 million is available to capture the person responsible for the 1994 murder of National Crime Authority detective Geoffrey Bowen.
    He died while opening a parcel addressed to him, which exploded. The bomb also critically injured lawyer Peter Wallis, who was also in the office at the time.
