So it's not unusual that we might kind of hear this level of
detail um it is procedural as well though obviously normally you'd get a few dates in this case we probably didn't get as many dates as you typically get um and normally you might hear a little bit more about witnesses like who who's going to come before the court and give evidence in the actual inquest um we didn't hear much of that they pretty much said a lot of that wasn't
ready um but we did hear this this summary which is typical in a directions hearing before an inquest to to hear that kind of level of detail i guess it's the first chance if you're not going through a criminal proceedings for family for those involved to hear a bit more in depth about what happened that day
Yeah, there was a huge media contingent.
But, of course, you know, it's the loved ones that is the most interesting in these cases.
We saw the loved ones of Neil Thompson.
They were physically in court, so his sister's.
There was a number of other family members that were referenced, including Vadim's family that were on a link.
So a lot of people were kind of watching remotely and not physically in court, which again is quite typical in this sort of process, given how long that things can drag out and people are living elsewhere for them to tune in online.
obviously those family members often people often ask me you know what was the emotion like what was it kind of like in court with these big stories for these sisters they sat calm they sat composed despite hearing a lot of disturbing new detail which which must have been horrific but
Not unusual with these awful kind of instances that they, you know, try and remain calm in court.
It's a long process that they've been through.
Obviously, a lot of police officers too.
So there were several senior police officers.
You know, you've had the likes of the Homicide Squad boss, Dean Thomas, and the head of the Police Association, Wayne Gatt.
He was also there.
All kind of there in a show of support, but also they have obviously an interest in this case and seeing what happened that day as well.
Yeah, as you said, we knew a lot of rough detail and we knew that there was some horrific child abuse allegations, but this is the first time that we've really heard specifics about that.
So we learned about why police were specifically there in the first place.
So he was not only accused of the sexual assault of a child under 16, he was also accused of attempting to involve a child in the production of child abuse material.
