The Glenrowan siege was in a way the end of the KellyGang. The Fitzpatrick incident was part of the start of this story, so was the murder of Sergeant Kennedy and Constable Lonigan. The robberies at Euroa and Jerilderie were wonderfully planned operations. Aaron Sherritt life as a police agent ended as part of a grand plan to destroy the police.
