Bin gerade zufällig über einen Artikel zu Murdoch und dem Falconio-Fall gestoßen. Da gibt es offenbar ein neues Buch. Siehe hier: http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/st…5005962,00.html
Ich habe von dem Fall nicht besonders viel mitbekommen, also weiß ich nicht, ob das wirklich neue Erkenntnisse sind, aber vielleicht ist es ja interessant. Hier der Artikel.
Murdoch didn't shoot Falconio, author By Glenn Morrison
October 02, 2007 12:28pm
POLICE know Bradley John Murdoch did not kill British tourist Peter Falconio, a new book about the case alleges.
True crime author Robin Bowles said a police officer told her during the trial of Murdoch - held in the Darwin Supreme Court - that: "We know he wasn't the shooter. But he's going down for it."
The book, Rough Justice: Unanswered Questions from the Australian Courts, also suggests Falconio may have been drug-running.
The book also claims Murdoch was set to "name names" linked with corruption, names he discovered during his examination of police notes in his trial brief.
Bowles also says that after appealing to the High Court over his conviction for the murder of Peter Falconio and the deprivation of liberty of Falconio's girlfriend Joanne Lees, Murdoch told her things were "not over yet".
Murdoch hinted that he would release names linked with corruption and worse, says Bowles - who has interviewed him many times over the past few years - after he made an exhaustive study of the trial brief.
Murdoch maintained throughout the trial and during interviews with Bowles that he did not kill Falconio.
He readily admitted his many other illegal activities, Bowles says, including drug running and "bashing people who deserved it".
Murdoch was convicted of the murder in December 2005 and sentenced to 28 years in prison, one of the harshest sentences by an Australian Court in recent years.
In the book, Bowles does not reveal the nature of Murdoch's possible revelations about corruption.
But she uses the opportunity to review many perceived inconsistencies in the Falconio case, which confounded police and sparked widespread public debate.
Other controversial evidence raised in the book includes:
Joanne Lees telling police her attacker had punched her in the temple, though she made no mention of this to the doctor who examined her at Alice Springs Hospital.
There was no mention of an injury consistent with this claim in the doctor's report.
Bowles says Murdoch rejected Ms Lees's claim by reference to the enormous size of his fists: "See this fist? (She) reckons I punched her. If I'd punched her I'd have broken her jaw."
