SUNDAY INVESTIGATION: Ross Coulthart/Nick Farrow - Butcher of Bega Investigations
August 3, 2008

Reporter: Ross Coulthart
Producer: Nick Farrow

It was a story that became as moving for the bravery of the victims, as it was shocking for the crimes of Dr Graeme Stephen Reeves.

When we first broadcast our story on the so-called ‘Butcher of Bega’, the investigation was followed-up by media across the world.

Yet we had our suspicions there were still more victims.

Nothing could have prepared us for the enormity of the response.

Hundreds of separate complaints from individual victims were logged by Lorraine Long’s Medical Error Action Group website.

And the storm around Dr Reeves continues to this day.

We look back on these exclusive reports by Ross Coulthart, which lifted the lid on Australia's worst medical disaster.
