Falconio murder detective 'did not plant evidence'
A police detective denied in court today a defence lawyer’s suggestion that he had planted evidence to incriminate a man charged with murdering British backpacker Peter Falconio in the Outback.
Under cross examination, Detective Sgt. David Chalker told the Northern Territory Supreme Court he did not put defendant Bradley Murdoch’s DNA on cable ties used to handcuff Briton Joanne Lees after her boyfriend Peter Falconio was shot in central Australia on July 14, 2001.
