Accused killer's ex didn't move after ute set alight
Forensic analyst Laura Noonan gave evidence in the Victorian Supreme Court that Hannah McGuire's body remained in the same position during the April 2024 car fire.
"There didn't appear to be any attempts to move," Ms Noonan told the jury on Friday.
Prosecutors allege Lachlan Young, 23, murdered Ms McGuire in the early hours of April 5 and then drove her body to remote bushland in Scarsdale, southwest of Ballarat, before setting the ute alight.
Young admits killing his former girlfriend and then trying to stage her death as a suicide but denies the charge of murder.
He instead claims her death was an unplanned and spontaneous incident.
On the third day of Young's murder trial in Ballarat, Ms Noonan told the jury there was no evidence flammable liquids were used to set the ute alight.
The severe damage caused to the vehicle was likely because the blaze had burned for about six hours before it was discovered, she said.
The forensic expert told the jury Ms McGuire's body was found in the rear passenger footwell of her orange Mitsubishi Triton.
Her body was resting on its left side with her head facing towards the rear of the ute, Ms Noonan said.
Ms McGuire's remains were significantly burnt in the blaze, although Ms Noonan said the side of her body resting against the ute's floor was less badly damaged.
That indicated her body had been in the same position at the time the fire was lit and throughout the duration of the blaze, the expert said.
It was also unlikely that Ms McGuire had been resting on the back seat and then fell into the footwell, she said.
She believed the fire was started near the front passenger seat as the damage appeared to be more severe in that section of the vehicle.
Firefighter Alwyn Parker also gave evidence as he was one of the first to respond to the ute fire on the morning of April 5.
He told the jury the ute was no longer alight when his fire crew arrived about 9.55am, although two tree trunks alongside the vehicle were smouldering.
Mr Parker said he thought it was "very suspicious" how the trunks were so close to the ute.
The jury on Thursday visited the site where Ms McGuire's remains were found, as well as the Sebastopol home where the alleged murder happened.
Justice James Elliott on Friday thanked the jurors for their patience and courtesy throughout the inspection, noting how challenging the cold conditions had been.
The trial will continue on Monday.

Horrific rail crossing crash near Albany ignites calls for improved level crossing safety
Level crossing safety has been thrust into the spotlight after a mother of three was killed in a crash between a four-wheel-drive and a grain train at a rail crossing near Albany. Cailee Mansell, 29, died on Wednesday, July 16, after the Mitsubishi Triton her family were driving in was hit by a CBH Group train at a a level crossing in Redmond. Ms Mansell, who was a passenger, suffered critical injuries and died at the scene. Her heartbroken family have launched a fundraiser to support her husband and children left behind. In a post on fundraising site GoFundMe, organisers said Ms Mansell was 'a light upon this earth' who was taken far too soon. 'Her sudden passing has left an unimaginable void in the hearts of all who knew her,' the post read. 'She leaves behind her heartbroken husband, Haydn and their three young children, who now face life without their mum's warmth, love and guidance.' The donations — which amounted to more than $92,000 on Tuesday — will go to funeral and memorial expenses, child care and schooling needs, and daily living costs. Redmond residents living near the rail line have joined the calls for improved level crossings, with Carly Pateman-Baker — who lives 50m from the train line — telling ABC that 'no one stops' at the crossing. 'To find out this has happened right at our doorstep . . . is pretty scary,' she said. 'Normal train lines either have warning lights . . . or a barrier that comes down before a train is close to the railway line.' WA currently has 960 public road level crossings on operational rail lines, about half of which are fitted with flashing lights or boom gates. A State Government review conducted in 2023 deemed 13 of the passive crossings on State roads should be upgraded with active controls, but Countryman understands the Redmond crossing falls under the City of Albany. The accident occurred just weeks after a trio of WA families marked the 25-year anniversary of a fatal level crossing accident at Jennacubbine in the Wheatbelt. There were renewed calls for improved level crossing safety and mandatory lighting on trains. Each of these families — the Jensen, Broad and Smith families — are part of a national campaign called Improve Level Crossing Safety and Train Lighting, which includes nine other families from across Australia. Campaign spokeswoman Lara Jensen said the families' hearts 'broke all over again' when they heard about the Redmond crash — for Ms Mansell's family, as well as the two train drivers and emergency personnel involved. 'Australia's Rail Safety National Law states that the regulator, Office of the National Rail Safety Regulator must facilitate safe rail operations, yet in the last four years we have seen ONRSR ignore three train lighting reports it commissioned that all found additional lighting improves train visibility,' she said. 'It is deeply concerning that the rail industry is still not being made to comply with the findings of its own research. 'Rail companies operate businesses that create serious risks and so they have a responsibility to mitigate these risks by doing all they can to ensure their locomotives and rolling stock are clearly illuminated at all times for rural road users that interact with them at more than 18,000 regional crossings without lights or boom gates around Australia. 'Improving level crossings safety requires multiple actions, and fitting auxiliary lighting to locomotives and rolling stock (hazard, side, front and beacon lighting) is one such affordable corrective action that would improve safety and reduce preventable crashes and fatalities at regional railway crossings.' Central Wheatbelt MP Lachlan Hunter also doubled down on his calls for flashing lights to be made mandatory on trains. 'People will argue that this accident happened during the day,' he said. 'I know many farmers in my electorate who have farm machinery and they have to have lighting on their header or tractor as they move from farm-to-farm. This is not something I think is unreasonable. 'If you look at this crossing, it is a peculiar crossing . . . there is just one stop sign..' A statement from freight train operator Aurizon on Thursday confirmed the fatal collision, saying it, along with CBH, would assist police with the investigation. 'Tragically, a passenger in the vehicle lost her life in the incident and we extend our condolences to her family and friends,' the statement read. 'This incident will be felt deeply by the local community, including our train drivers and employees who live and work locally.' A CBH Group spokesman said the farmer-owned co-operative was 'deeply saddened'. 'We are deeply saddened to hear of the fatality at Redmond,' he said. 'Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to the family of the deceased, and everyone affected by this tragedy. 'CBH and our rail services provider, Aurizon, are assisting the relevant authorities with their investigation.' It is understood the Australian Transport Safety Bureau will conduct an independent investigation, while major crash is also investigating the accident. Ms Mansell's death is one of 120 so far this year on WA roads, in a horror toll putting the State on track for its worst 12 months for fatalities in more than a decade.

Family pays tribute to loving mum killed in WA train crash
The heartbroken family of a mother-of-three killed when her car was hit by a train in WA's Great Southern have launched a fundraiser to support her husband and children now left behind. Cailee Mansell, 29, died on Wednesday after the Mitsubishi Triton her family were driving in near Albany was hit by a train at a level crossing in Redmond. Ms Mansell, who was a passenger, suffered critical injuries and died at the scene. Police said the Mitsubishi was driving east on Redmond-Hay River Road and that the CBH grain train was travelling north. Ms Mansell's family — including her husband and three children, and who live in the region — all received minor injuries and were taken to hospital for treatment. Two men on the train were not injured, but were treated for shock. In a post on fundraising site GoFundMe, organisers said Ms Mansell was 'a light upon this earth' who was taken far too soon. 'Her sudden passing has left an unimaginable void in the hearts of all who knew her,' the post read. 'She leaves behind her heartbroken husband, Haydn and their three young children, who now face life without their mum's warmth, love, and guidance. Cailee Mansell leaves behind her heartbroken husband and their three young children. Credit: GoFund me 'Haydn is now navigating the difficult road ahead as a single parent, trying to provide emotional stability and practical care for his children during a time of deep grief. She also leaves behind her loving mother and best friend, Odette, who is grieving the unimaginable loss of her daughter. 'No amount can ever replace the love and presence of their mother, but with your help, we can ensure that this grieving family has the support and security they need in this incredibly difficult time.' The donations — which already amount to more than $50,000 — will go to funeral and memorial expenses, childcare and schooling needs and daily living costs. The crash closed road and rail around the site for more the 24 hours last week. Major crash officers on Thursday combed the scene as they began an investigation into how the tragic incident happened. A statement from freight train operator Aurizon on Thursday confirmed the fatal collision, saying it, along with CBH, would assist police with the investigation. 'Tragically, a passenger in the vehicle lost her life in the incident and we extend our condolences to her family and friends,' the statement read. 'This incident will be felt deeply by the local community, including our train drivers and employees who live and work locally.' It is understood the Australian Transport Safety Bureau will conduct an independent investigation. Ms Mansell's death is one of 120 so far this year on WA roads, in a horror toll putting the State on track for its worst 12 months for fatalities in more than a decade. The figure includes 62 metropolitan fatalities — a sharp rise on the historic trend for the year to date — and 58 on regional roads.

Hannah McGuire: Here is a complete timeline of the murder that devastated a town
The Supreme Court trial of Lachlan Young came to an abrupt end on Friday, after the 23-year-old pleaded guilty to murdering his former partner, Hannah McGuire. The change of plea came eight days into the murder trial, after several witnesses, including Ms McGuire's parents, were called to give evidence to the jury. Preparations are being made for Young's eventual sentencing on the single charge of murder. Here is what has happened so far in the case, which has both devastated and brought together a community. Hannah McGuire's body is found in a burnt-out car in bushland near Scarsdale - April 5, 2024. A man walking his dog was the first to call in the burnt-out Mitsubishi Triton after discovering the wreckage in the early morning of April 5, 2024. CFA crews arrived at the scene in the Ross Creek State Forest to find Ms McGuire's remains in the vehicle. Ms McGuire was last seen by her parents on the night before, sharing a meal with her netball clubmates at the National Hotel in Clunes, which the family owns. Lachlan Young is arrested and charged with murder Homicide Squad detectives charged Ms McGuire's former partner with her murder on April 9, 2024. The couple had owned a house together in Sebastopol, but had separated in the months prior to Ms McGuire's murder. The Clunes Cricket Club established a GoFundMe to help support the McGuire family, which raised more than $11,000 in its first four hours. A workmate of Young's, Benjamin O'Keefe, was also arrested in relation to the murder, but was not charged. Young appeared for the first time at the Ballarat Magistrates' Court, and a statement on behalf of the McGuire family was delivered outside the courthouse by their solicitor, Brooke Tamanika. Calls for change grew in the Ballarat community, as Ms McGuire became the third woman in the city to be allegedly murdered by a man in the first half of 2024. Ms McGuire was laid to rest at a funeral in Ballarat on April 29, 2024, attended by about 600 people. Lachlan Morganti is charged with stealing money from Hannah's GoFundMe A man associated with the Clunes Cricket Club, and known to the McGuire family, Lachlan Morganti, is charged with stealing over $60,000 from the GoFundMe established after her death. Morganti used the money to fuel his online gambling addiction and was reported to police after transferring a portion of the winnings to his friends, who realised where the money had come from. He later admitted to the McGuire family that he had lost all of the money. A magistrate called Morganti's crime one of the "most self-indulgent acts of greed" she had seen in her career. Debbie McGuire called Morganti's actions "vile". "He had the audacity to attend [Hannah McGuire's] funeral, where he was amongst the very people who contributed to the GoFundMe, whose money he had gambled away," she said. "I'm heartbroken for those who financially contributed when they didn't know what they could do for us, I have faith the adjudication will be one that is considerate on our family and the community." Morganti avoided jail and was placed on a two-year community corrections order after pleading guilty to the theft. Lachlan Young pleads not guilty to murdering Hannah McGuire At a hearing at the Ballarat Magistrates' Court on September 19, 2024, Young pleaded not guilty to murdering Ms McGuire. He appeared remotely in the court from custody. The courtroom was filled with supporters of the McGuire family, each wearing shirts with her face on them and the words "she matters". Young elected to have the trial fast-tracked to the Supreme Court, skipping the usual committal process in the Magistrates' Court. The trial begins and ends after Lachlan Young changes his plea The Supreme Court murder trial began on July 8, sitting in Ballarat. Young's legal team conceded that Young had killed Ms McGuire, but that the death was accidental and without murderous intent. The trial went for eight days, with the jury hearing from several witnesses. Young's colleague, Benjamin O'Keefe, is a key prosecution witness who told the court he had driven out to Scarsdale with Young on the morning of Ms McGuire's murder. He said Young had set Ms McGuire's orange Mitsubishi Triton on fire with a blow torch, but denied ever seeing her body inside the vehicle. Mr O'Keefe's cross-examination had finished on Wednesday, July 16, and the court was due to hear from more prosecution witnesses. The trial was adjourned on Thursday, July 17, due to "issues that arose overnight". Supreme Court Justice James Elliott did not elaborate on what the issues were. On the morning of Friday, July 18, Young changed his plea, and pleaded guilty to murdering Ms McGuire. Young will return to court on July 25. Affected by this story?
