One thing i just realised is that possibly Borce was telling the media the police told him not to speak about the case publicly as a way to get the media off his back- especially now as he might have been deemed a formal suspect. It would look horrible for the Herald Sun to whip out another story where a reporter asks Borce directly if he is a suspect, and he is caught between a rock and a hard place- not wanting to publicly acknowledge he is a suspect, though also not wanting to offer the dreaded 'no comment' response, which is damning. So Borce preempts it all by saying the police told me not to speak LOL. Ingenious tactic. Perhaps his lawyers thought it up for him. Some lawyers are worth their weight in gold, aren't they? hehehe Just my opinion, of course.
I think puggle and someone else talked about this business of Borce saying the police told him not to speak to the media, and the police saying they can't tell people what to do; I agree with puggle and co. that both statements could be correct: the police can't stop anyone talking to the media- true; and, the police might have told Borce to be wary of what he says to the media lest he slip out some vital details that are being kept secret. Although, referring to the previous paragraph, i think it is more likely that Borce's lawyers told him to keep quiet, which is troubling because he is saying police told him to keep quiet. Surely he can't just be making things up. Something doesn't quite add up. There is some trickery going on here. Everyone seems to be playing little word games: the media, the police, Borce perhaps, etc. I think the police told Borce to be cautious and not let information slip unnecessarily, while his lawyers told him to zip it. That sounds reasonable.
