Police have arrested a 68-year-old man over a series of bombings and shootings in Sydney that claimed four lives and terrorized the Australian legal fraternity more than 30 years ago.
Police says Leonard John Warwick was arrested Wednesday as a result of a three-year-old cold case investigation.
New South Wales Police Homicide Squad Commander Superintendent Mick Willing says he faces 32 charges, including four counts of murder, one of attempted murder, and 13 counts of burning or maiming with an explosive substance.
