Hei, olen Gemma Barth, osa True Crime Conversations. Ja minä laitan sinulle uudestaan asiaa, jonka keskustelimme juuri viikko aiemmin. Vuonna 2025 virallisten poliisipolitiikassa Vadim Devat Hotar ja Neil Thomsonin viranomaisuudesta Desmond Philbystä, joka lähetti poliisi 7 kuukauden hankkeeseen.
Philby oli tullut sydäntöön vuodesta vuodesta vuodesta vuodesta vuodesta vuodesta vuodesta vuodesta vuodesta vuodesta vuodesta vuodesta vuodesta vuodesta vuodesta
Now the court proceedings in this case are getting underway. On May 25th in the Victorian Coroner's Court, family, colleagues and media gathered for the opening of two inquests. Seven News' Rochelle Brown was there. We asked her to walk us through what we learnt. Rochelle, thank you for joining us. Firstly, can you tell us procedurally what happened in the Melbourne Coroner's Court? Because they actually opened two inquests, which is quite unusual really in a crime, isn't it?
Thank you for having me, Gemma. It is very unusual, but we've got this highly unusual situation where we've had these two parallel awful incidents. We've had the shootout involving the two police officers, those two fallen police officers, and then you've also got the shootout where Desmond Philby has been killed. So we've had this very unusual instance where there's these
ja nyt meidän täytyy käsitellä heitä koronavirtaisella tasolla, koska näissä tilanteissa ei ole oikeastaan kukaan, mutta heidän täytyy edelleen tutustua. Joten ihmisten, jotka eivät kuitenkaan tiedä kotimaisen prosessin, koronavirtaisuus on melko erilaista kriminaalisesta prosessista, mutta se on käytännössä tehtävä suunnitelmia, jotka voivat vahvistaa samanlainen syrjintä tulevaisuudessa.
to figure out if it could have ended differently. But the coroner kind of said in court, it's not their role to point the finger and lay blame like you would in a criminal kind of procedure. It's very different to a criminal case in that way, but there's still a lot of similarities. You've got evidence, you've got witnesses that we'll hear from at a later date, and a lot of investigations. So it's similar in that way, Gem. But this...
It's more of like what they call a directions hearing, right? So it's kind of just like working out dates and that kind of thing. Why did we find out so much new information? What actually happened? Who spoke? Yeah, so it's a directions hearing is like the very kind of start of an inquest process. But it is kind of typical to hear a summary of what's happened. So it's sort of an agreed summary that the lawyers have all decided to be able to read out in court.
detail 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 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 we didn't hear much of that they pretty much said a lot of that wasn't
