Victoria Police have told the Coroner’s Court of Victoria that an estimated 101,821 guns are currently reported by police as either lost, stolen, or destroyed without record in the Australian state.
The figures were released by Victoria’s coroner, Judge John Cain, as part of his findings from the inquest into the death of Marilyn Burdon, 70, who was shot and killed by her partner, lawyer Charles Bisucci, in August 2017. Bisucci then fatally turned the gun on himself.
