Victorian Police take a page from Hollywood.

A thing of rather macabre beauty. Victoria has long had a stain along it's borders in the form of organized crime. They set about some years ago to crack down on it and the corruption around it, jailing some really bad men. One of which, Carl Williams who was accused of arranging the murders of dozens of people. Up until today he was sitting in prison, a taxpayer funded embarrasment, and landmine for Victorian police and politicians who have been desperately trying to re-write themselves out of a history of corruption and collusion. Still, what are they to do with him?

Let's pay to send his daughter to a private school! $8000/year of tax payers funds; and start rumors about paying some $750,000 of debt currently owed by his father. I dunno about you, but where I come from that is is called making a deal, or more sinisterly, mean't to look like he had made a deal. A deal with authorities for some pertinent, embarrassing information about other underworld figures either in custody, or with observant figures in custody watching out for their best interests.
(Smells of a Deal)
Not 14 hours after the story was leaked and published, (and I suspect a phone call to an illegally smuggled mobile phone) Carl Williams is dead. Beaten to death in a maximum security prison. (Hook, line, sinker, and copy of Angling Times)

Now if I could just place my finger on the movie I saw this happen on...
