Once they heard, they began a campaign for an internal police review and a fresh inquest. So, that's why we set off and started doing this. Yesterday, coroner Alistair Hope found that the evidence was not sufficiently strong for him to be able to identify the killer with confidence. But he went on to say that Craig and Raisbeck should not be excluded as suspects. Throughout the inquest, Tom Craig has maintained his innocence, but he has declined to be interviewed for this report.
Police say they are following leads from the hearing and they still hope to solve the case.
I'm sorry that we haven't resolved it. And I look forward to possibly getting new information or information that we can push further and pursue further when we do the review of everything that came out of the inquest. For the Zappelli family, the only comfort is the hope the Western Australian police service has learned its lesson. Hopefully the police will learn from the mistakes they've made in this and they'll adopt some measures to, you know, address that.
