The haunting 54-year mystery of what happened to the Beaumont children has taken a new chilling twist with fresh claims that their bodies are burned at a farm outside of Adelaide.
The biggest manhunt in Australian history was launched when Jane Beaumont, nine, seven-year-old sister Arnna and four-year-old brother Grant were snatched on a trip to Glenelg Beach on Australia Day in 1966.
This new witness, whose identity is secret, claims he walked into the house and saw the two youngest Beaumont children alive and playing in the kitchen on the day of their disappearance.
He also says he saw Jane covered in plastic on the floor and being “frantically stabbed” to death in a bedroom at the home where former scoutmaster and convicted pedophile Anthony Allan Munro lived.
This chilling new evidence was released last week when South Australian man Andrew McIntyre revealed on Facebook that he has located a new witness to back up his previously made claims that Munro – and his own father Max McIntyre – killed the Beaumont children.
“This person walked into his bedroom and there is Anthony Munro naked, the eldest Beaumont child was naked, he put plastic over her, laid her down on plastic on the floor and was frantically stabbing her to death,’’ says Andrew.
“The witness bolted and ran out of the house, leaving the two children with [another person] in the kitchen.
