The state government has more than doubled the reward for information into the murders of a couple at Lake Macquarie in 2008.
The bodies of 50-year-old Robert Pashkuss and 41-year-old Stacey McMaugh were discovered in a home at Caves Beach on January 6, by Ms McMaugh’s teenage son.
Their murders remain unsolved and today the NSW Government announced it would increase the reward from $100,000 to $250,000 in the hope it will lead to a breakthrough.
“The families of Mr Pashkuss and Ms McMaugh have been suffering for almost a decade, and their families deserve to see their killers brought to justice,” said Minister for Justice Troy Grant.
Their deaths have been the subject of a Coronial Inquest this year at Newcastle, with hearings resuming today.
The inquest has heard two witnesses have died and one is missing, with one of the deceased a “person of interest”.
We’ll bring you more details in NBN News tonight at 6.
