Falconio murderer appeals against conviction
An Australian mechanic found guilty of killing a British backpacker on a lonely stretch of Outback highway has filed an appeal to have his conviction overturned, his lawyer said today.
Last month, Bradley John Murdoch was convicted of murdering Peter Falconio on an Outback highway in July 2001 and assaulting and abducting Falconio’s girlfriend, Joanne Lees.
