He was my roommate a year before. I was also an addict. I'm 10years clean now married with a son and a home.B had his good and bad sides as we all do. He was my friend although we had left on bad terms. No body deserves what they did to him. I remember the good times B ...Rip bro.
No one will believe this but here goes: sometime in the mid 90’s, late on a rainy night, I was walking with my girlfriend and her dog along one of the canals in Elwood. She noticed a white plastic bag floating in the canal. It was bobbing around in an unusual way and this is what caught my friends attention. We found a fallen tree branch and dragged the bag to the canals edge and as we got it to the edge the bag fell apart and a severed human hand bobbed up to the surface then floated away as it sank. We went home and called police who outright said we were full of shit and hung up. We called back immediately and were told to go and lodge a report in person the next day, we tried insisting they needed to get to the canal before it emptied to the bay and the cop on the phone said “ you want me to come and meet you tonight by a canal in this weather? Fuck off” and hung up. We tried. Wonder whose hand that was?
I knew B pretty well from St. Kilda days. Hadn't seen the guy for about 11 months and then was having a beer watching the news when I saw the report of the arm that surfaced in the Maribyrnong. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the tattoo. I used to urge him to do more with it but he wanted it the way it was. He was a trippy dude.. RIP mate.
Yeah he was a but trippy, pretty good bloke though. I met him at one of the hostels in Melbourne a few years before he died. I saw him about once a week in his last few months. I was shocked when I heard his name on the news. I don't listen to podcasts, I prefer docos, but it is good to better understand what happened to him. Very brutal. He didn't deserve that. He was a good bloke.
@@petervonstamer7859 Yeah. We knew him bro. We ain't gonna pretend he didn't pull some dickhead moves. I saved him from something that unknown to me at the time, was him getting what's coming and got stomped the next day myself. So sad though. It was like he was starting to turn it around. Dude actually did everything right this time..
Yeah ok... do you not understand there are many in this type of demographic who are not homicidal psychos? Get the fuck out of here and go hug a tree. Jesus christ they violently killed a bloke. Their 'class' has nothing to do with it. There are rich, poor, middle of the road people of all sexes and races who when they cross a certain line... deserve to live in a cell for the rest of their lives. There was so much room for this to not turn out the way it did. They chose to undertake the dismemberment to avoid detection, after killing him and only once he was dead the fun had stopped. It's not fun to violently beat, cut and strangle someone... no matter what drugs you take or your annual income. Fuck your 'blame on others' attitude for the choices of these fucking monsters. Fuck them especially
I only found your channel like 2 days ago and I have listened to so many of these. They are perfectly made and entertaining to listen to. Have you ever thought about making one of these on Chris Watts case? It would get you so many views and it would be a good one go hear. I looked on your channel for it but cant see it. If you made one that would be perfect :)
This made me cry, If this was my son I know I could not go on living, I would be haunted every minute of the day with the thoughts of what they did to him and how he cried out in agony, these monsters should NEVER be released, I cannot believe that they didn’t get LIFE, HOW could that girl let them do that to him ? And WHY WHY WHY did the neighbour not ring the police??? He must be a cold hearted bastard too. BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY !!!!!!
Thanx for ur comment. Brendan was my roommate about a year before.I was also an addict but am now 10years clean, married with a son and a home. B had good and bad sides but don't we all. No one deserves wot they did to him. Rip Brendan.
@@asahibluebartholomew5444 You're spot on. B had his kickass dude moments and he also could be annoying as hell. But that's pretty much all of us. I don't know you, but hope you're doing ok. Thanks for commenting.
Very, very good again. I most enjoy hearing about people's lives, or ways of existence… while the crimes are, without a doubt, very interesting, I usually wish the victims had never been attacked. Used to child-victims by now (far too many of those being covered in casefile) I had no pity for poor Brendan at first. Then I googled his picture. I know the type: sweet, harmless, funny - even in a seemingly lost life they are usually a joy to their fellow-humans. Then I saw pictures of his attackers, two of them true heavyweights. And Brendan a mere leaf in the winds. So the mental picture of the murder changed dramatically. Now I wonder (not for the first time) why a crime committed by a group offers relative safety for it's members. Wouldn't the probability of someone, inside group, who's having doubts speaking up or going for help increase if the law would be: you were there, you didn't stop it, you'll be send away? And why is stupidity a mitigating factor? Won't that moron feel free to commit the next crime as his convenience? And how will "Janet" survive the beast's release? May she'll get punished worst of them all, but, sadly, not for closing that door on Brandon.
Andrea, they absolutely do, I think if I had one wish it would be to make all alcohol and drugs disappear off the face of the earth, what a totally different world it would be
You are paying to replace the yt revenue stream, but that is money coming into yt off the back of hosting the users hard work and talent that allows yt to make shed-loads with little effort... the in-video ads are how the content creator can support their channel, hope this helps
Defense lawyers defend . I was charged with assult...but i was the one who was beaten... The county took over my case and defended me. All was quashed. Not all defendants are bad or wrong.
This one really got to me. I was nearly sobbing by the end. Absolutely horrifying. RIP Brendan and much love and strength to his loving family.💜

@@petervonstamer7859 I'm still spinning out years later tbh. He didn't deserve this.
@@steverodgers1979 Absolutely right about everything you said, mate. Good on ya 😄

A depressing look at the addicted underclass.
But thank you for your thorough work.

drugs and alcohol only ever cause harm and evil
Andrea, they absolutely do, I think if I had one wish it would be to make all alcohol and drugs disappear off the face of the earth, what a totally different world it would be
How did the girlfriend not get charged?!
Not even as an accessory after the fact?
@53:00 Manslaughter? Really? Sounds like murder to me!
To many ads. Why do I pay for youtube premium? Still great work.
