Falconio murder suspect to stand trial

A mechanic was ordered today to stand trial for the alleged murder of British backpacker Peter Falconio in the Australian Outback three years ago.

After a five-week preliminary hearing in Darwin Magistrates court, magistrate Alasdair McGregor found there was enough evidence against Bradley John Murdoch, 45, for him to stand trial in the Northern Territory Supreme Court charged with the murder of 28-year-old Falconio on July 14, 2001.
