New $1m reward over cold case murder of women 'bludgeoned to death'

A fresh $1 million reward has been announced in connection with the decades-old case involving the brutal deaths of two women.

Back on May 17, 2000, police discovered the bodies of 32-year-old Susan Kay and 37-year-old Joanne Teterin, who were found beaten to death in a Newcastle suburb, NSW. The grim discovery took place in a residence on Doran Street, Carrington.

The pair were last seen alive approximately a week before their bodies were uncovered in the home.

Despite extensive investigations, no arrests or charges have been made in relation to the case.

Following a coronial inquest in 2003, the unresolved case was handed over to the Unsolved Homicide Unit of the Homicide Squad for further examination.

Initially, a $100,000 reward was issued in hopes of gaining new information.

Last year, the review was finished and unearthed “fresh forensic opportunities” police said.

The reward has now been raised to $1 million.

“It was a brutal crime which has remained unsolved for 25 years,” Doueihi said.

“Homicide detectives are committed to seeking justice for the families of Susan and Joanne.

“We remain focused on finding the person or persons responsible and renew our appeal for anyone who may have held on to information – no matter how seemingly insignificant – to reach out to police.
