INTENSE MAN-HUNT
SLAYER OF TWO WOMEN SYDNEY, Jan. 4. In one of the most intense manhunts for years all available detectives of the Criminal Investigation Branch are searching for the person, believed to be a maniac, who battered to death a woman, aged 49, and her daughter, aged 20, in their home in the Sydney suburb of Lakemba. With only a vague description of the killer supplied by the girl before she died and without any indication of the motive, the detectives are facing a baffling problem. They have already Questioned hundreds of persons and have searched backyards, streets and allotments minutely but have found no trace of the murderer or of the weapon he used. The victims were Mrs Dorothy Dart and her daughter, Dorothy Jean Dart, who became engaged on Christmas Eve.
Mr Dart is on a fishing holiday with friends at Ulladulla.
