Falconio killer to launch appeal
The drug smuggler convicted of killing British backpacker Peter Falconio and attempting to kidnap his girlfriend on a remote Outback highway six years ago will launch a bid for an appeal in Australia’s highest court later this week, prosecutors said today.
Bradley Murdoch is serving a life sentence for murdering Mr Falconio, on July 14 2001, and trying to kidnap his girlfriend, Joanne Lees.
