For more than two months, the biggest courtroom in Adelaide hosted a huge trial.

Four defendants, two of them accused of murdering a man called Jeffrey McLean and cutting his body up, putting it in a wheelie bin.

And then it was called off.

which means we can tell you some secrets.

I'm Stephen Stockwell.

This is episode eight of the case of the wheelie bin murder.

A dramatic but incredibly disappointing end to the trial of Cherie Glastonbury and Mark Murphy.

A mistrial was declared last week and there is much to discuss and many questions that we are now a little bit freer to answer.

And to help us through all of that, we have Adelaide Court reporter Eva Blandis with us.

G'day, Eva.

Eva, this is a fascinating case, the case of the Wheatley bin murder.

We had four people on trial.

Two people were on trial for murder after Geoffrey McLean's body was found in a Wheatley bin.

His torso found in a Wheatley bin.

Then two more on trial for kind of helping them, basically, after the fact.

But there was very little coverage on this in Adelaide.

We had a huge response to the podcast as we were talking through this and producing episodes on it.

But there were very few stories in Adelaide about it.

I mean...

Am I right in thinking that people in South Australia just weren't that interested in hearing about this?
