Nearly 400 years after Australia’s first and biggest mass murder, scientists are still discovering full skeletons that lay buried at the little-known “Murder Island”.

This Sunday on 60 Minutes, reporter Liam Bartlett travels to the West Australian island chain The Abrolhos, where 125 men, women and children died over three months.
