78-Year-Old Accused in 1994 Chadstone Shooting

A 78-year-old former rugby league star, Garry Sullivan, faces fresh charges for a 1994 shooting at Melbourne’s Chadstone Shopping Centre — a brazen robbery that left two security guards and a bystander wounded. Police reopened the case weeks ago after new intel surfaced, leading to his arrest. The gunman allegedly stole bags of cash, forcing guards to drop money before firing — one shot hit a guard’s ankle, another ricocheted into the second guard. A bystander chasing him was also shot. Sullivan’s lawyer revealed serious health issues including heart disease and mouth cancer, and claimed he’s been denied proper meals in custody. He’s not seeking bail and will remain jailed until his next court date next month — while the family of a deceased victim hopes for long-overdue justice.
