Coroner’s pledge on William Tyrrell

“In general terms, the coroner does have jurisdiction over William’s disappearance, has police investigating this, and will conduct an inquest once their investigation is complete,” said the correspondence seen by The Australian.
“I can indicate that an inquest will proceed in William’s case as the role of a coroner is to establish five factors … who died, where they died, when they died and the manner and cause of their death.
“In William’s case it has not even been established if he is in fact deceased, so manner and cause are still outstanding factors.
“Therefore this means that an inquest into his disappearance and suspected death must be held.”..............
A small number of those persons of interest identified by police have been named in media reports in recent years, though each has denied any connection to the case.
These include alleged and convicted sex offenders, some of whom have links to each other.
