Fresh inquiry into Ayers Rock dingo death

AUSTRALIA has launched a new inquiry into the death of baby Azaria Chamberlain to re-examine claims she was snatched and killed by a dingo at Uluru, or Ayers Rock, in 1980.

The Northern Territory’s registrar of births, deaths and marriages is examining the case after a plea from Azaria’s mother to change the death certificate to blame a dingo for the bizarre killing.

The registrar has called for submissions and new evidence from both Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton and ex-husband Michael Chamberlain. Both were convicted for the death, but later exonerated.
