By Fi Poole The Parliamentary Committee hears how the justice system failed the families of three murdered Bowraville children.
The Standing Committee of the Parliamentary Inquiry into the Bowraville murders was held in Macksville on Thursday to formally begin hearing evidence into the family response to the deaths of Clinton Speedy Duroux, Evelyn Greenup and Colleen Walker.
It has been 23 years since their murders and despite a trial and several coronial inquests no one has been convicted of the crimes.
Many within the community believe that this Parliamentary Inquiry is the families' last chance for justice.
They hold hope that all three murders will be trialled as one case. Detective Inspector Gary Jubelin who has been on the case since 1996 told the seven member committee that he believes there is enough evidence for a conviction of the lead suspect. He went on to say that the cases had not been solved because of racial discrimination and that the justice system has failed the families.
The Chairman of the Committee, David Clarke MLC said that while they are limited to the parameters of the inquiry, they will do whatever they can to deliver justice to Bowraville.
The Standing Committee of the Parliamentary Inquiry into the Bowraville murders hears from the people affected. In this package you will hear Detective Gary Jubelin, Clinton's mother June Speedy , Uncle Martin Ballangarry and Deacon Walker who is Colleen's nephew.
