New CCTV footage released as police seize vehicle linked to murder of Bill Frangos

·

Detectives investigating the murder of 72-year-old Bill Frangos in Woodville Gardens have seized a red XR6 Ford ute linked to the crime and are searching for another vehicle, a grey Holden Commodore, which police believe was used to set his house on fire in an attempt to “cover their tracks.”

Frangos’ body was discovered on December 7 at his Essex Street home, which had been set alight hours after his death.

Police believe two men murdered Frangos between 10.30pm and midnight before leaving in the red ute, which was later involved in a traffic incident days after the murder.

Detective Superintendent Darren Fielke said, “Bill was involved in some low-level drug activity. We don’t know that’s a motive for the murder but it’s not been discounted.”

CCTV footage shows the suspects walking between the house and the ute multiple times during the murder.

Police were later able to seize the ute after a traffic-related incident involving the vehicle. However, they clarified that those involved in the incident are not believed to be suspects in the murder.

Hours after the killing, the suspects returned in the grey Commodore to set the house on fire.

CCTV footage shows a person with a backpack walking toward the property before flames erupted around 3.30am, and the same person running away afterward.

The Commodore, which has a distinctive silver front bumper, was last seen near Torrens Road at Kilkenny. Police are appealing for information on its whereabouts.

Police are also investigating the suspects’ actions in Alberton, where the red ute was parked on Ozone Street after the crime.

Superintendent Fielke emphasised, “We are a long way down the way to identifying who these people are,” adding that the case is progressing quickly and a resolution is expected soon.
