Great article. This judge was so spot on in everything he said, unfortunately. Unbelievable that the psychiatrist said he had "good prospects of rehabilitation"...i can't decide whether that's an outright lie or just sheer stupidity...

I find it really hard to believe the 'get out of there' came from anyone besides Jill. I think it's equally an odd thing for a resident/bystander to yell out and why wouldn't they call the police if they were so concerned? The fact the voice was female and sounded drunk is also significant to...

I'm a journo and have done some court reporting...usually the police have a "back up charge" which they revert to if the person is found not guilty of the more serious offence. So for example if the accused led police on a high speed chase, they would be charged with dangerous...

Porge, with the clothes issue looks to me like she had a few things on when buried :( but most of them ended up at AB's house. Mr Bayley then returned to the laneway and placed Ms Meagher's body in the boot of the car and drove out to Gisborne South before digging a hole about 127cm in length...

Woah pretty revealing article into AB's frame of mind when he confessed. In Bayley’s record of interview - tendered in evidence - he told homicide detectives he had to take “responsibility” and thought the death penalty should be reintroduced. “I hope they bring back the death penalty...

Totally horrified reading the details from today's hearing. I can't even contemplate what's being withheld from us. It just breaks your heart to think about what Jill must have gone through in her final moments :( Then I just feel so furiously angry at the unfairness of it all. Even a...

Been thinking about Tom and the rest of Jill's family today during Christmas celebrations. While the general public may start to move on, for them the loss must be more pronounced than ever. :(

Not strictly on topic (sorry!) but i found this a very interesting read for those wondering about the horrific ordeal the detectives must go through. I've been thinking more about it since I met a man whose son is actually one of the top homicide squad detectives in Victoria and presided over...

More on the development with the car: THE car belonging to a missing Bacchus Marsh woman who vanished from her home last week has been found after a tip-off from the public, police said today. This latest development comes as police continue the search for the missing woman, Sarah Cafferkey...

According to the latest MSM posts on twitter Sarah's car has been found. Prime7 Twitter Account: Missing Bacchus Marsh 22yo Sarah Cafferkey’s car has been found parked in Maribyrnong Dean Felton Account: (Channel 7) Police find car of missing Bacchus Marsh woman Sarah #Cafferkey in...

Oh dear :frown:

Was wondering that too, my feeling is the guy that wrote them took them down. Had it been police/her family I think they would have removed her comments as well.

Whoops wrong thread...

Just my opinion but as a journo myself I doubt any journalist covering this case from the beginning isn't to some extent emotionally invested at this point - theyre not superhuman and also I don't think a person totally lacking in empathy would make a good reporter. I think the key is being...
