Can we just get a drone and drop him into the frontline of war torn country and let him fend for himself - I really don't want to subside his meals and lodging for the next 20 years. Escalating repeat offenders - can we tag them - surely after "x" amount of times he needs tracking imbeded. So over this just my very angry opinions.

 

[brissygirl2019]

Sadly we will probably subsidising his housing and meals for less than 20 years

 

[katydid23]

I wish there was a way to keep people with a history of domestic violence and stalking, OFF of the dating apps. I know, I know, not possible, but...damn......

How a critical DNA sample is at the centre of the case against tradie, 33, accused of murdering teacher he met on a dating app and then fleeing out the window - as he's refused bail ​

Gaddie was questioned overnight at Katoomba police station where an interim order was granted to swab him for DNA.

In Penrith Local Court on Wednesday, lawyer Joseph Ormaechea opposed consent for the DNA swab taken at the police station by forensic experts.

The prosecutor warned of the need for the swab to be taken because of the 'transient' nature of the DNA.

Gaddie did not appear in person or by video link and made no application for bail.

He was remanded in custody until March 3 with a decision on the admissibility of the DNA swab adjourned also until that date.

Ah, I didn't see that you'd linked one of the articles I linked, my bad. I could swear I looked at every link in this thread and none were ABC! But maybe I loaded the page just before you posted, and then posted my comment having not seen your comment appear. Wasn't my intention to duplicate your hard work on this thread. <3

I missed this one completely, even though it's very close to where I am. I don't think I checked the news yesterday, so I'm playing catch-up.
