Special day for Daniel

[snip]

Co-ordinator of the day's activities Leonie White said, "Remember Day for Daniel is not a memorial day.

It is a day where we can use the very real story as an example to children of the need to be equipped with skills and confidence to recognise dangerous situations or physical abuse and do something about it."

Witness says he was present at murder, but police have doubts

A CONVICTED child rapist has told an inquest into Daniel Morcombe's disappearance that he was three metres away when the boy was killed.

[snip]

The man, in jail for raping his daughter, said he had told police his former lover, a 60-year-old man known as P32, had bundled the then 13-year-old into a van.

He said he had helped tie the teenager up and later saw P32 sexually assault the boy while saying: ''You gotta try this.''

[snip]

Police have said they believe he is lying because many parts of his story do not add up.

[snip]

Outside the court, Daniel's parents, Bruce and Denise Morcombe, said: ''We don't hold out an enormous amount of faith but we do want to hear what he has to say.''

The hearing continues.

Child rapist denies fabricating Morcombe murder claim

A child rapist who claims he and an accomplice were responsible for abducting Queensland teenager Daniel Morcombe has denied he fabricated stories about what happened.

[snip]

Senior counsel Alan MacSporran suggested the man made up stories about Daniel's disappearance to implicate P32, after years of sexual abuse.
P33 has denied the allegation.

He also denied claims he fabricated his evidence as payback because he blames P32 for his own incarceration.

Lawyer for the Morcombes, Peter Boyce, suggested to the man he has done significant damage to the Morcombes by admitting he was a party to their son's death and that he continues to torture the family by lying.

But P33 insists he is telling the truth about the fate of Daniel Morcombe.

"It's not a lie sir, no," he said.

Daniel's parents' two days of hell
10 Feb 2011

The parents of missing schoolboy Daniel Morcombe say police initially thought it possible that bones found in a 44 gallon drum at Caboolture could be their son’s.

He said witness testimony at an ongoing inquest that their son’s body had been dumped in a barrel meant the drum’s contents were of significant interest.

Mr Morcombe said he was completely confident in police who had ruled out the remains in the drum being those of their son.

Adult bus passengers are having to get off crowded buses to make from for children, on the busy route between Woolloongabba and Herston.

The Rail Bus and Tram Union has confirmed drivers have had to ask people to get off packed buses in particular on route 66, because under Translink policy they are not allowed to leave children alone at bus stops.

Witness lied to police, Morcombe inquest told

[snip]

The witness, who cannot be identified, told the inquest in Brisbane that the person of interest told her to tell police he was on the Gold Coast.

She says she told police the man was at her Goodna home, west of Brisbane, where they spent the day arguing.

She now says the man, known as P5, left the property and was gone for three to five hours.

The witness told the court the man had told her to lie for him and that she did so because she both loved and feared him.

But she said she was not sure why she maintained the lie for five years, even after the man was returned to jail for raping his sister.
