Gregory Pasche knew Dennis Allen and Gregory is buried at the same spot in Fawkner Cemetery as Jamie Pettingill.

In May 1983 Greg Pasche, 23, who had befriended another of Kath Pettingill's sons in a boys' home, and to whom Kath had become an 'unofficial stepmother', was found stabbed to death in the Dandenong Hills. There were rumours that Allen had killed him, although he was thought to have been acting on Allen's behalf, bashing people who owed him money.

But in 1983, she (Wendy Peirce) says, Victor Peirce wanted to leave his criminal past and get a job. He had just been released from Ararat prison after serving two years and they moved into a rented unit in Albert Park, suburbs away from the rest of his family.
But Peirce's half-brother, Dennis Allen, rang and offered to give them a house next to his in Chestnut Street, Richmond.
"Once we moved in, that was the end. Victor was always helping out Dennis. If we hadn't moved there then none of this would have happened — none of the murders, the armed robberies and the drugs. If we hadn't moved there then Victor would be alive today and so would those two police (Tynan and Eyre)."
Allen was a prolific drug dealer in the early 1980s. "I saw Victor with cash, sometimes $50,000, sometimes $100,000. I saw Dennis with $500,000." Allen had many bank accounts but also liked to bury cash so it could never be traced. Much of it was never recovered when he died of natural causes in 1987. "When he got sick he couldn't remember anything. It must all still be buried around Richmond."
Police say Allen was responsible for up to 11 murders and Wendy Peirce says she learned from experience to read the signs when her brother-in-law "was about to go off".
One day in August 1984, she saw Allen turn and look coldly at small-time crook Wayne Stanhope, then turn up the volume of the stereo — to drown the shots he was about to fire. "I told him, not in my house." Allen begrudgingly took Stanhope next door to shoot him, leaving the body in the boot of a car in the street for two days.
Allen was also blamed for the deaths of associates Victor Gouroff and Greg Pasche in 1983, Helga Wagnegg in 1984 and Anton Kenny in 1985.
"Dennis gave Helga Wagnegg pure heroin. They poured buckets of water from the Yarra River down her throat to try and make it look like she drowned. Anton did nothing wrong. There was no reason. Dennis didn't need a reason.
"Victor Gouroff killed Greg Pasche. Dennis killed Gouroff because he didn't get rid of the body properly. Pasche said something out of school and Gouroff stabbed him. He was in the kitchen saying, 'Dennis, help me, help me.' Dennis picked up a bayonet and stabbed him in the head. They dragged him into the backyard and wrapped him up. There was no need for any of this. It was madness."

MELBOURNE: Detectives in Victoria and NSW are trying to trace recent associates of a former Sydney criminal, Mr Gregory Vivian Pasche, 22, who was found murdered in the Dandenong Ranges, east of Melbourne, last Thursday. The decomposed body, with more than 30 stab wounds, was lying near the summit of Mount Dandenong. Police have not been able to learn much about Mr Pasche's movements after he left Sydney for Melbourne on release from Long Bay jail in May.
