Girlfriend 'picked out photo of Falconio murder suspect'

The girlfriend of a British backpacker killed in the Australian outback more than four years ago identified her attacker to police in the year after her attack, a court heard today.

Joanne Lees looked at a selection of photos shown to her by police in Sussex and pointed to the man she said attacked her and killed Peter Falconio, 28, on a remote highway north of Alice Springs in the country’s red centre on July 14, 2001.
