No - by ‘deliberately’, police mean that the accused had the intention to kill SM or cause her serious harm, and therefore the charge is for murder.
Deliberately driving under the influence of alcohol / drugs and unintentionally killing someone in the process amounts to manslaughter, since...
Geoblocking can be used to stop Australian IP addresses from accessing those articles or from appearing in search engine results. Once a suppression order is made, applications can be submitted to google etc
I’d imagine drug-related - possibly on ice or something like that.
His lawyer’s contention that he has no drug or mental health issues doesn’t add up to me, especially since he also requested a suppression order on the basis of there being a suicide risk.
I didn’t say not to clean up the dog poo. I’d have thought most people on larger properties like that would compost dog poo, which kills the harmful bacteria and parasites, means it can be used as fertiliser, and reduces plastic waste.
Regarding the “poo bag” (if that’s what it is) - I find it weird to use a plastic bag to pick up dog poo on your own property and put it in the bin. I have a spade that I use to pick up droppings, which I just flick into the garden. I only use a plastic bag when I’m outside my property and I...
My understanding is that the town was originally named Bonshaw but was renamed Sebastopol during the Crimean War in 1855. The fall of Sebastopol in Crimea was a significant win for the British and Ottomans against the Russian Empire, and since Ballarat and surrounding areas had seen a sudden...
I think those stats have been misinterpreted. 150 people are reported missing each day in Australia; of those 150 reports, 1-2% are criminally related. So, of the 50,000 missing persons reports made each year, roughly 800 are criminally related. This figure, as far as I can understand, doesn’t...
Given the nature of their panel-beater business, I’m guessing that family members have access to many cars even if they don’t own them themselves. So I’m sure that police would have to consider the possibility that a car not belonging to the family could have been used without that car having to...
Maybe SM‘s watch is a really new model or something, but I can tell you that my daughter’s Apple Watch (6mo old) doesn’t sync with a device to share health data etc UNLESS the Watch and iPhone/MacBook are in close proximity and can physically connect with one another. If my daughter lost the...
Weird that police on the one hand say there aren’t suspicious circumstances around SM’s disappearance yet, as South Aussie noted above, according to Vic Police’s website, the missing persons unit is called in when a person goes missing under suspicious circumstances. Seems a bit contradictory!
I have also been wondering whether there’s footage of her actually jogging away. I’m guessing there isn’t since police don’t know the direction she headed off in. Perhaps I’ve missed it, though it does have me wondering if there is footage of her actually leaving the premises and, if so, what...
