The Job
The Job: Fighting Crime from the Frontline | Charlie Bezzina
1 post | 1 read
Charlie Bezzina was one of Victoria's top homicide detectives. In his 17 years in the Homicide Squad, he investigated more than 300 suspicious deaths, including 150 murders - among them the crimes of serial killer Paul Denyer, the killing of Melbourne gangland figure Alphonse Gangitano, the baffling disappearances of Sarah McDiarmid and former gameshow model Jacquie Ramchen, and the death of former Test cricketer David Hookes. This is the never-before-told story of Bezzina's rise from a sheltered childhood in a Maltese family in Melbourne's western suburbs, to a widely respected senior detective who served Victoria Police with distinction and unquestioned integrity for 37 years, culminating in his acrimonious and highly controversial departure from the force. The Job is an explosive and intriguing account of what it takes to be a criminal investigator at the highest level.

Bezzina was a senior member of the Victorian homicide squad for about 17 years and was pushed out because of politics. But his career was incredibly distinguished, with some big names in his career (he assisted with the NSW investigation of the murder of Victor Chang, was lead on Alphonse Gangitano's death, caught Paul Denyer, among others). It was an interesting read from someone who took great pride in his work and successes.
