BiographyHistory

Snowy Rowles was charged with the murder of three men in 1929 and 1930 in the Murchison area of Western Australia. He was convicted and executed on 13 June 1932. The method used by Rowles to dispose of the bodies of his victimes appears to have been borrowed from Arthur Upfield who describes it in his novel The Sands of Windee.
