Fourth inquest opens in notorious dingo case

A coroner today opened Australia’s fourth inquest into the most notorious and bitterly controversial legal drama in the nation’s history: the 1980 death of a nine-week-old baby whose parents say was taken by a dingo from her tent in the Australian Outback.

Azaria Chamberlain’s mother Lindy was convicted and later cleared of murdering her and has always maintained that a wild dog took the baby.
