Employer reveals his shock after finding out about his worker's bestiality and child abuse charges
An Albury tech worker has been charged with the possession of child abuse and bestiality material after police swooped on his home this morning.
NSW Police executed a search warrant at Lavington home at 6.20am on Friday and arrested Vikneskumar Thangaraj, 33.
The search came after State Crime Command's Child Internet Exploitation Unit (CIEU) passed on information to officers attached to Murray River Police District, who then made further inquiries.
An electronic device was seized during the search and has been taken for further examination, police said.
Thangaraj was taken to Albury Police Station where he was charged with possess child abuse material, person possesses bestiality material, and use carriage etc to access child abuse material.
He was refused bail to appear in Albury Local Court later on Friday.
Thangararaj worked in IT for Spider Networking, a business in nearby Wangaratta.
His boss confirmed on Friday he had worked there on a casual basis as a 'techie'.
The man told Daily Mail Australia it was an 'absolute shocker' to receive the news as he had just processed Thangaraj's wages.
'I send him (Thangaraj) to work at different locations and anyone with a criminal history cannot do that work,' he said.

Should Sydney's light rail carriages be modified after second death in two years?
For the second time in two years, a pedestrian has died after being struck by a tram on Sydney's light rail. New South Wales police said they found a man under a tram carriage in Surry Hills on Thursday afternoon. Paramedics treated him at the scene, but he died. Police said initial inquiries showed the man was attempting to cross the light rail track between two carriages when the tram began moving and trapped him. In May 2023, a teenage girl died after attempting to cross a street in Sydney's CBD between two tram carriages. She became trapped underneath one of them when the tram started moving, suffering fatal injuries. Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email That two similar deaths occurred just two years apart meant police, the premier, and transport bureaucrats fielded questions from the media this week over whether the light rail network, and the trams themselves, should be made safer. Dr Geoffrey Clinton, a senior lecturer in transport management at the University of Sydney, said it was 'probably wise' for the government to investigate additional safety measures to stop people from attempting to climb over them. Sydney's light rail network uses a few different tram models – what bureaucrats call 'rolling stock'. What they have in common is that they typically have separate carriages that are coupled together to form a longer vehicle, unlike trams in Melbourne, which have only one carriage. Many of the trams now have 'danger' signs on the joinery between the carriages, warning people not to try to climb over them. Clinton said the state government or the network's private operator, Transdev, could consider additional signage. 'Or even something like a net between the two carriages to discourage people from trying to clamber through,' he said. He posed the idea of running the trams twice as frequently with only one carriage, making them half as long, but said it didn't 'seem like a feasible solution'. '[That] would very expensive to do and wouldn't add to the capacity of the network, but it would double the labour cost,' he said. The transport minister, John Graham, declined to comment. A Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) spokesperson said the man's death was 'extremely distressing'. The NSW police inspector, Anderson Lessing, on Thursday said that after speaking to witnesses and reviewing CCTV, it appeared the man had stepped between the tram carriages off the platform at the light rail stop on Devonshire Street. 'There's obviously risk involved, but it comes back to personal responsibility when you do cross the tram line, and it's that balance that we have to get right,' he said. Sign up to Breaking News Australia Get the most important news as it breaks after newsletter promotion The TfNSW coordinator-general, Howard Collins, expressed his condolences to the man's family and first responders. He said the Office of the National Rail Safety Regulator (ONRSR) would work with Transdev to establish whether any safety recommendations could be made or whether the death was 'a case of really unfortunate misadventure'. The ONRSR also reviewed the 2023 light rail death. On Friday, there was some confusion between the government and Transdev over whether the operator had received a report from the regulator. ONRSR later confirmed its investigation reports were not released to operators. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau and NSW Office of Transport Safety Investigations said they had not reviewed the 2023 death and would not to review Thursday's one either. '[We] have reviewed the initial available information and determined that, as in the 2023 occurrence … it is unlikely an independent transport safety investigation would identify any new or unknown transport safety factor that could prevent an incident of this nature from occurring in the future,' a spokesperson said. The premier, Chris Minns, said he was sorry for the man and his family, but he wouldn't be drawn on whether the government was considering any safety upgrades. 'The safety regulator's in place,' he said. 'It's obviously the case that whenever there's a terrible event like this, a terrible incident, they conduct an investigation.' Terry Lee-Williams, a transport planning strategist, said it was 'awful that somebody died', but overall, Sydney's light rail network was safe and 'actually quite a low speed system'. One suggestion for improving safety could be replacing the trams with the concertina-like ones used in Melbourne, he said, but this would be costly. He said Sydney's trams were a 'standard design' and similar to those operated in many European countries. 'You don't see much of the Melbourne-style trams around the world because they're less accessible,' he said. 'Sydney has very narrow, windy streets.'

Moment gutted lag is arrested at prison gates as he LEAVES jail – after dealing drugs from his cell
THIS is the moment a gobsmacked criminal was arrested at the prison gates - just seconds after leaving jail. Samuel Watts had been released HMP Kirkham following a three-year sentence for a drug dealing plot. 4 4 But the 34-year-old only managed to taste freedom for a few moments before he was pounced on by police. Officers had discovered Watts was still dealing drugs from his prison cell. In bodycam footage, he can be heard moaning "you don't know what I've gone through". Despite his pleas, officers can then be seen placing the criminal in handcuffs at the prison gates. He has now been jailed for four years and four months after he pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of class A drugs (cocaine) while serving a prison sentence. Burnley Crown Court was told Watts was originally locked up in September 2023 for dealing cocaine and cannabis. In July last year, officers at Northwich Proactive CID discovered intelligence suggesting Watts was in possession of a mobile. They believed he was using the contraband to sell drugs from his cell at the Preston nick. Following the discovery, Watts was searched and prison officers discovered an Apple iPhone strapped to his waist. A search of the phone revealed a catalogue of messages that proved he was selling illegal drugs. Police Constable Dan Lee, Of Northwich Proactive CID, said: 'Watts saw his initial prison sentence as an inconvenience rather than a punishment. "After smuggling a mobile phone into the prison, he thought that he could simply continue to run his criminal enterprise from behind bars, directing people lower down the chain to deliver drugs on his behalf. 'However, he clearly underestimated the dedication and determination of the team here at Northwich Proactive CID. "As soon as we became aware of his latest activities we brought them to a swift conclusion and were ready to arrest him as he was released from prison. 'I welcome the latest sentence handed to Watts and hopefully this time he'll use his time behind bars to reflect upon his actions rather than trying to set up another business venture, otherwise we'll be waiting for him again next time he's released.' 4 4

EXCLUSIVE The four-word text that sparked a tragic hunt for missing teen Pheobe Bishop - as her housemates are now charged with her murder
The hunt for missing teen Pheobe Bishop was triggered by a frantic text from her sister to the last-known people to see her alive, Daily Mail Australia can reveal. Pheobe's housemates James Wood and Tanika Bromley have now been charged with the 17-year-old's murder and two counts each of interfering with her corpse. She vanished on May 15 after leaving the ramshackle home in Gin Gin, near Bundaberg in central Queensland, that she shared with Wood and Bromley. They told police they had given her an early morning lift to Bundaberg Airport to board a plane on a trip to see her boyfriend in Perth. But Pheobe never made it to check in, and her older sister Kaylea, 18, triggered the search when the family was alerted Pheobe had never arrived in Western Australia. In an text to Wood and Bromley on May 16, Kaylea demanded to know: 'Where is my sister?' Three weeks later detectives have accused the housemates of Pheobe's murder, and on Friday notified the family they had found human remains. Just hours earlier Kaylea had begged for help finding her sister's body in an impassioned plea outside Bundaberg Magistrates Court after Bromley and Wood's murder charges were heard. She sat in the far corner of the front row, staring straight ahead flanked by friends, family and a court security guard as details of the murder charges against the couple were read out. Neither Wood nor Bromley appeared in person or by video link for the hearing and afterwards Kaylea walked outside to make her heartbreaking statement. 'We just want her home,' she said tearfully through red-rimmed eyes. 'I don't know what to say, if you've got any information about Pheobe or the car, just come forward. 'Three weeks is too long for us as a family. She was loved, she's missed dearly.' Kaylea and Pheobe had a close relationship and had been planning to move out of the family home and into a house together last year. On Friday, the girls' mother Kylie Johnson paid tribute to Kaylea for facing the media to speak up for her allegedly murdered sister. 'Kaylea your strength, determination and dedication to bring Phee Phee home is such a reflection of your fierce love for your sister,' Ms Johnson posted on Facebook. 'Pheobe would be so proud of the way you handled yourself today just as we are. We WILL bring Phee home - I don't care how long it takes but we will get her home.' After the remains were found she posted again, saying: 'I didn't think my heart could break anymore then it did when you went missing, or when the charges were laid, but this! This is ripping me apart.' Pheobe was last seen on May 15 leaving the Gin Gin home, near Bundaberg in central Queensland, where she was living with Wood, 34, and Bromley, 33. The couple allegedly drove Pheobe to Bundaberg Airport at 8.30am for a flight to Brisbane and then on to Perth, where she planned to meet up with her boyfriend. She never got on the plane and Detective Inspect Craig Mansfield told reporters on Friday that, as the investigation progressed, all hope was lost of finding Pheobe alive. 'Our evidence will outline the fact that three people arrived near to the airport and three people never exited that vehicle,' he told reporters on Friday. 'Our investigation will detail the facts that we believe Pheobe was murdered and then her body was moved. 'We will allege that Pheobe was moved more than one occasion.' Pheobe had been living with the couple prior to her disappearance on May 15. The couple were arrested in Bundaberg on Thursday night and were each charged with one count of murder and two counts of interfering with a corpse. They remain in custody and were due to front Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Friday morning but did not appear via video link. The arrests came after Wood was initially arrested on Wednesday and then released without charge. The arrests came after James Wood (pictured) was initially arrested on Wednesday and then released without charge Police towed Wood's SUV which he had 'effectively been living out of it from time to time' for forensic examination The search for Pheobe had been scaled back on Wednesday after police spent weeks combing several areas of interest. They included the property in Gin Gin where Pheobe lived with Wood and Bromley and a grey Hyundai ix35, thought to have been used to take the teen to the airport. Det. Insp. Mansfield told reporters while he could not speculate on motive, he said police have 'information that would suggest some form of motivation'. Police have also towed Wood's SUV which he had 'effectively been living out of it from time to time' for forensic examination on Thursday night.
