Pemulwuy was an Aboriginal yes, he murdered an unarmed man, guess thats ok and I'm ignoring the probable reason as I'm not Aboriginal and killing an unarmed person runs against the grain (without trial), he then lead the Locals in a guerilla war against the people living in the area, this went on for many years till he was shot dead, not as you put it "caught, decapitated" I do believe his head was sent back to England to study as were a lot of "English" peoples heads, this was not part of some "terrorist Tactic" but , and Im not defending it , thats what they did back then. There are probably people on here who have had decendants heads studied around the same time, for scientific purposes.... to be blunt you post was .......
