Biography

Judith was born about 1952, in South Australia (SA), the daughter of Colin Walter MULDOON (1929-2004) and Norma VIDITO (c1932-2005).^[1]

Judith last resided at 9 Ventura Avenue, Taperoo SA.^[1]

Judith died on 30 August 1971 at Mutton Cove, which is near Osborne SA.^[2][1]

According to news reports she was shot by Trevor John Sparrow at Mutton Cove.^[3] On 10 December 1971, Sparrow was found guilty by a jury in the South Australian Supreme Court of the murder and sentenced to death.^[4] The sentence was presumably commuted to life when the death penalty was abolished in SA in 1976.

Judith's funeral was held and she was interred (buried) on 1 September 1971 in Cheltenham Cemetery, Cheltenham SA.^{[5][6][7][8][9]}
