17 November 2021
Police arrested a 70-year-old man and have applied for the extradition of a 59-year-old woman, who was arrested in Palmerston North yesterday.
The allegations were brought to New South Wales police in 2019
Detectives were told the child was fatally assaulted by a woman known to her, in or about July 1987, at a rural property at Porters Retreat.
She was then allegedly helped by a man in disposing of the child's remains.
Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty syas the level of violence allegedly used upon this child is abhorrent -- and it left a father without his daughter or knowledge of her death for 34 years.
