DOUBTS REMAIN

-

WHILE I understand the Police Associatio­n’s concern about the reputation of its members, as member and Treasurer of the Sue Neill Fraser Supporters Group I’d like to assure Colin Riley that our members and the many others who support an inquiry into the case generally have the greatest respect for the police force as a whole.

It’s true Sue’s case has had extensive coverage lately, it’s just a shame it didn’t have that intensity of investigat­ion back in 2010 a year after Bob Chappell disappeare­d, and well after Sue had been arrested when new informatio­n came to light.

That was the time, before her trial, when greater investigat­ion and a really fresh look at the evidence was needed.

It was back then that reasonable doubt about an alternate perpetrato­r could have and should have been thoroughly considered.

If it had, we would not still be campaignin­g today. Things missed or covered up often inevitably come out later but it’s such a shame that through all this Sue is still in jail, now her 13th year locked up.
