Garry Davis claims innocence in aged care murders

For several months, journalist Anne Connolly has been speaking with Garry Davis, a convicted killer serving time in Goulburn prison. Davis insists he is innocent of murdering elderly residents at a nursing home. However, many believe he is guilty of those crimes and potentially more. The story began on October 19, 2013, when Dr. Tuan Quach received calls about two patients from the same nursing home suffering from severe low blood sugar. Dr. Quach discovered a pattern and ordered tests, which revealed they were poisoned with insulin injections. One patient died, while another survived. As the investigation unfolded, police found that other residents had also experienced similar health crises, raising suspicions of foul play. All the victims were elderly and had dementia. The police focused on Garry Davis, a 26-year-old team leader at SummitCare, where the murders took place. A video interview showcased his unemotional responses, raising further doubts about his innocence. Prosecutors lacked direct evidence but built a circumstantial case against Davis. Text messages he sent predicting the deaths of residents before they showed any signs of illness were particularly concerning. Ultimately, he was convicted and sentenced to 40 years in prison. Connolly's extensive research raises questions about Davis's past. Evidence of medication theft and troubling death notices were uncovered, suggesting he might have been involved in more incidents than just the three for which he was convicted. A retired detective indicated it would have been negligent not to investigate another suspicious death that occurred around the same time as the murders. Davis continues to maintain his innocence. Families of the victims express frustration over the investigation and the standard of care in nursing homes. Advocates are calling for better screening and regulation of aged care workers to prevent future tragedies.
