One of three men jailed for torturing and murdering two Qld drug dealers, whose bodies were found in a toolbox, has appealed against his convictions.
One of three men jailed for torturing and murdering two Queensland drug dealers whose bodies were found in a toolbox has appealed against his convictions, claiming the jury relied on inadmissible evidence.
His barrister, April Freeman, said there had been an error of law during the trial because the jury were told Tahiata had confessed to police while their interview video camera was switched off. Freeman said the quote from Tahiata was presented to jury members as a “pivotal moment” in the trial.“It affected the jury when looking at other police interviews and deciding which version is true,” she said.
