The girlfriend of a British backpacker believed murdered in the Australian Outback underwent hypnotherapy to try to dredge up more evidence for police hunting the killer, a policewoman told a court today.

Australian mechanic Bradley John Murdoch is accused of murdering Peter Falconio, from Huddersfield, on July 14, 2001, and abducting and assaulting Falconio’s girlfriend Joanne Lees.
