It was the death that could have pushed Wollongong over the edge.
In the late 1990s, the New South Wales city had become a cesspool of corruption and abuse involving civic leaders and Catholic priests, and was in the grip of a heroin epidemic, its streets littered with needles.
Then, 20 years ago on June 26, 1998, the gruesome bashing murder of former Wollongong lord mayor and state MP Frank Arkell helped break the curse that had dragged the steel city to its darkest depths.
Known as Mr Wollongong, Arkell, who was lord mayor from 1974-1991, had proudly coined the phrase 'Wonderful Wollongong' to describe the place he loved to work and play.
To many in high places he was the city's saviour, but to others who knew his dirty secrets, including his predilection for young boys, he was a 'rock spider' who deserved what was coming to him.
