John Burdon has had two manslaughter charges dropped after a witness came forward to say that he was not driving the boat at the time.
Two Floreat parents have spent their first night behind bars after being found guilty of starving their teenage daughter,as well as social,emotional and functional neglect.
The 28-year-old teared up on the witness stand as prosecutors accused her of lying about the whereabouts of Andre Rebelo on the morning his mother died.
The last witness to be called in Andre Rebelo’s murder trial was revealed to be his famous ex-girlfriend and mother of their son,Grace Piscopo.
Andre Rebelo is accused of killing his mum to claim more than a million dollars in life insurance policies he took out in her name a week before she died.
The 28-year-old told the court he saw his mum on the morning that she died but did not kill her.
Audio recordings from police listening devices placed in the home of Andre Rebelo and his Instagram-famous girlfriend Grace Piscopo have been played to the jury in his murder trial.
The woman also said she doesn’t know why she didn’t immediately call triple zero when three-year-old William disappeared.
In 2020,Rebelo sat down with two police officers to answer questions about fake email accounts,forged documents,a fake will,and life insurance policies in his mother’s name – and denied any knowledge of them.
A man accused of failing to properly care for his teenage daughter,allowing her to develop severe malnutrition,has told a court the girl ate whatever she wanted.
The lengths police went to in trying to catch out accused killer Andre Rebelo were revealed in court on Tuesday as part of the 28-year-old’s murder trial.
