25 year anniversary following the murder of Nina Nicholson

It has been 25 years today since the murder of 22-year-old Clunes woman Nina Nicholson, Victoria Police say.

Homicide Squad detectives are today appealing for public assistance and have announced a $1 million dollar reward.

On 10 September 1991, Nina had dinner with her parents in Clunes and left around 8pm as she was due to start work at St John of God’s hospital in Ballarat at 9.30pm that night.

Nina did not attend work and the alarm was raised.

Her father and brother later found her deceased on the rear porch of her house in Suburban Street, Clunes.

Investigators believe she was involved in a violent struggle with the offender and received serious head injuries.

Despite an exhaustive police investigation and information followed up, Nina’s murder remains unsolved.

An image of Nina has been released.

A reward of up to $1 million dollars will be paid at the discretion of the Chief Commissioner of Police, for information leading to the apprehension and subsequent conviction of the person or persons responsible for the death of Nina Nicholson.

The Director of Public Prosecutions will consider, according to established guidelines, the granting of indemnification from prosecution to any person who provides information as to the identity of the principal offender or offenders in this matter.

Anyone with fresh information about the death of Nina Nicholson is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
