Girlfriend confused in outback murder case

JOANNE Lees admitted yesterday she may have been wrong about exactly what happened to her when she and her boyfriend were allegedly attacked in the outback by Bradley Murdoch.

Ms Lees originally told police she was pushed from the front seat of Murdoch’s pickup truck into the back.

But giving evidence at Murdoch’s trial yesterday she said that she now believes she may have been forced “through the side of the cabin” rather than straight from the front seat into the back compartment.
