Shane Charter's brother stabbed woman to death in kitchen Shane Charter, pictured, is at the centre of the AFL and NRL drug doping scandal. THE convicted drug dealer at the centre of the AFL and NRL drug doping scandal is also the brother of a murderer. And the 2009 murder committed by Leigh Charter Snr - the older brother of controversial sports biochemist Shane Charter- was one of Victoria's most tragic and bizarre killings. Mr Charter Snr's son, Leigh Charter Jnr, 20, Shane Charter's nephew, died in a car being driven at high speed by his drunken best mate, P-plater Brenton David Chaplin, at Seaspray in January 2008. A year after the fatal crash, Mr Charter Snr stabbed the driver's mother, Wendy Chaplin, 44, to death in her kitchen and seriously wounded the driver's father and brother. Mr Charter Snr, 44, a prison officer, killed himself immediately after his frenzied revenge attack on Chaplin family members. He meant to kill us, there was no question The Chaplin family, orchardists from Harcourt in central Victoria, was subjected to a series of verbal and written threats during the 12 months before the stabbings. "Murdera" was written on Chaplin Orchard signs,"`an eye for an eye" slogan was daubed on the Harcourt hall and other graffiti in the small town said "Brenton murdered Leigh." Brenton Chaplin received repeated phone calls where the caller would menacingly say "murderer" before hanging up. Mr Charter Snr was demanding to know where Brenton Chaplin was as he was stabbing other Chaplin family members at their home. He fled the death scene without realising Brenton was in the shower as his mother, father and brother were being butchered. Shane Charter is now alleging he is being subjected to a similar campaign of terror over his role in the sports doping scandal engulfing Essendon and other AFL and NRL clubs. He claims his life was threatened, his home burgled and a family pet killed as warnings to him not to reveal what he knows about performance enhancing drug use in sport. Shane Charter was arrested in 2004 over an importation of 100,000 pseudoephedrine tablets, which are used to make speed. He pleaded guilty and was jailed for four years and ordered to serve a minimum of two.
