34-year-old woman Jane Thurgood-Dove was gunned down outside her house in suburban Melbourne on November the 6th 1997, while her three children watched from the car, with her shooting most likely being a case of mistaken identity.

The murder of Jane Thurgood-Dove

Jane Thurgood-Dove was murdered in front of her three children in the driveway of their Muriel Street, Niddrie in November 1997 - as she stepped from the car and with her kids aged 11, six and three still strapped securely in their seats she was confronted by a pot bellied gunman who chased her around the family’s four-wheel-drive before shooting her in broad daylight. Jane was just 34 then and appeared to be an average mum in an average street married to an average guy. For years police worked on the theory a man obsessed with her was the killer. They were wrong. A hit team was hired to kill the blonde mother with kids who lived in Muriel Street. But it wasn’t Jane. It was a case of mistaken identity.
