joannes story. if that bradley did murder him. y didnt he kill her? she said she hid.
last time i checked there is not alot of place to hid in the outback
Not a lot of places to hide in about 2 million square kilometres. Are you and I discussing the
same outback, or are you just talking about the space between the fly screen door and your
outside dunny? | | |

107/M/, Wallis and Futuna Join Date: Oct 2005 | Violent past of Bradley Murdoch
Murdoch served a jail sentence for shooting at a crowd of Aborigines
Bradley Murdoch was obsessed with guns and has claimed, on a number of occasions, that
police have tried to frame him for serious crimes.
Two years ago, the drugs runner was cleared of tying up and raping a 12-year-old girl and
abducting her "for insurance" because he was afraid that police were about to arrest him
for Peter Falconio's murder.
The South Australia District Court heard that Murdoch, 47, told the girl and her mother,
who thought he was their friend, that he was "on the run" because he had been framed.
He was found not guilty in November 2003 but the case has a number of striking
similarities with the Falconio case.
During the alleged ordeal, in Riverland, South Australia, it was claimed that he denied
killing Mr Falconio but admitted having one of his T-shirts, the court heard.
The prosecution in the earlier trial said Murdoch was obsessed with the disappearance of
Mr Falconio.
"He believed, for whatever reason, the police were after him for this well-publicised
murder trial," prosecution counsel Liesl Chapman said.
Article 'found'
Ms Chapman said Murdoch had put black cable ties around the mother and daughter's
wrists and that the girl's legs had been shackled.
The jury in the Falconio case heard that he had put black cable ties around Miss Lees'
wrists and that he had tried to put tape around her legs.
Murdoch was found guilty of murdering Peter Falconio
And in the earlier trial, the girl said her attacker had a white Toyota Landcruiser with a
dark canopy, as did Miss Lees.
When he was arrested in connection with the rape case, it is alleged that police found an
article about Mr Falconio in the room of a guest house where he had stayed.
Officers who made the arrest found a huge arsenal of weapons in Murdoch's van, including
a high-powered rifle with telescopic sight, a fully-loaded .38 Beretta semi-automatic
pistol, night-vision goggles, nearly 800 rounds of ammunition, a crossbow, an electric
cattle prod and chains and shackles like the ones used to bind Miss Lees' wrists.
The court heard he tried in vain to resist tests to analyse his DNA which eventually linked
him to the murder of Mr Falconio.
'Impulsive and irrational'
Murdoch had already served a 21 month jail sentence for shooting at a crowd of
Aboriginal football supporters in 1995 who he claimed were harassing him.
At South Australia District Court, Murdoch admitted firing the shots.
Psychologist Ross Smith reported that Murdoch was "in such a state that nothing was
going to tone him back".
He had an "impulsive and irrational way", she said.
Murdoch moved large amounts of cannabis around Australia, taking amphetamines as he
drove through the night.
He timed his journeys to arrive back in his home town of Broome, in Western Australia,
when police shifts were changing.
Described in court in the Falconio case as meticulous and obsessive, he changed his
appearance regularly in order to avoid the police. | | |

have just killed a man the only eye witness is hiding in bushes... dont u think u would put a
bit of effort into trying to find her who could put u behind bars? which has
happened.
Yeah well that whole argument has just been had with top QC's in front of a jury in the
Northern Territory and the jury was convinced Murdoch killed Falconio.... Thats good enough
for me until the NT equivalent of the Court of Criminal Appeal disagrees with the trial judge
and the jury...... | | |
