Former soldier killed as homemade bomb explodes in Melbourne’s south-east

Post by Black Orchid » Mon Jan 24, 2022 7:21 pm

A father has died after a homemade explosive device detonated inside his car as he was driving along Young Road in the southeast Melbourne suburb of Hallam.

It’s understood the man was wearing an explosive vest that was triggered when his car hit a speed bump along the road.

It then travelled a few hundred metres down the road before hitting a parked vehicle at the corner of Homewood Boulevard and Young Road.

Emergency services were called to the scene at around 11.40am on Saturday morning and found the man’s body inside his vehicle.

7NEWS understands the 43-year-old former soldier from Dandenong had been at the home of his ex-partner shortly before the explosion took place.

Something seriously strange about this.

Was he a Australian, or born overseas?
Where was he heading?
I have a dream
A world free from the plague of Islam
A world that has never known the horrors of the cult of death.
My hope is that in time, Islam will be nothing but a bad dream
