Vic: Police searching for motive in mother's killing
Police are baffled and a quiet neighbourhood is shattered following the ambush-style
shooting of a young Melbourne mother.
Police say a lone killer shot 33-year-old ANITA POCHOPIEN in her car in the driveway
of her home in suburban Chadstone as she returned home from nightshift at a local factory.
The woman's husband, PETER, rushed out and tried to resuscitate her, while their 12-year-old
son was inside their home.
It's believed the gunman was lying in wait for her in a light-coloured Mitsubishi Magna sedan.
The homicide squad's Detective Senior Sergeant JEFF MAHER says he is baffled by the
shooting and no motive has been uncovered at this stage.
Sergeant MAHER has ruled out any links between Mrs POCHOPIEN's death and Melbourne's
gangland killings.
