<div id="ygrps-yiv-1619208010">Ther murder case in the ealry 1970s that clarified the NSW/Vic boundary in <br/>
Australia involved a murder where &quot;the butt of the rifle was in Victoria but <br/>
the muzzle in NSW&quot;. The body was found half in the river, and as the <br/>
boundary was defined as the top of left bank, it took some time to establish <br/>
which state had authorrity. Initially conivcted in Victoria, the murderer <br/>
appealed on the basis of actually committing the crime in NSW. He was <br/>
extradited there after the successful appeal,  but the subsequent retrial <br/>
resulted in a very similar conviction.<br/>
<br/>
When the &#39;ice man&#39; was found in the Alps about 10 years ago, Italy and <br/>
Austria squabbled over whose he was, as he lay very close to the boundary <br/>
(which of course was made only hundreds of years after the man had frozen to <br/>
death on the mountainside).<br/>

&gt;Rape case right on the boundary<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;It&#39;s the Frederiksberg police that at present investigate the resent rape <br/>
&gt;case, where a 25 year old woman was raped in a backyard in Hiller�dgade.<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;It was origionally the Copenhagen police that turned out, where after the <br/>
&gt;case was handed over to the police on Frederiksberg.<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;But it&#39;s not sure whether the case remains on Frederiksberg. A detailed <br/>
&gt;surveying on the place of crime will reveal if it lies in Frederiksberg <br/>
&gt;Municipality or Copenhagen Municipality.<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;Both districts are interested in getting the question clarified, as it is <br/>
&gt;expected that the investigation will demand many resources.<br/>
