60 Minutes revisits outback murder of Bruce Schuler in far north Queensland
The haunting outback murder of gold prospector Bruce Schuler continues to cast a shadow 13 years on, with fresh claims of a possible miscarriage of justice. In a wide-ranging review of the murder, which happened on the vast Palmerville Station in far north Queensland in 2012, 60 Minutes reveals some people, including a Queensland detective, believe Stephen Struber and Dianne Wilson, the husband and wife convicted of Mr Schuler's murder, may have suffered a miscarriage of justice. Struber and Wilson owned Palmerville and Mr Schuler was prospecting for gold on the cattle station when he disappeared. A jury convicted the pair of gunning down Mr Schuler, 48, and they are now in prison. Mr Schuler's body has never been found and because of Queensland's 'no body, no parole' laws, the former station owners look set to live out the rest of their lives in jail. Former Queensland detective Graeme Crowley believes the wrong people are in jail. 'It seems this is going to be one of those cases where just about everything you look at unravels,' he says on Sunday night's show. 'I believe it's a miscarriage of justice and it needs to go back to the courts.' Supporters of the convicted killers and those who believe a miscarriage of justice has occurred point to a lack of DNA evidence linking Struber and Wilson to the crime, the fact Mr Schuler's body and the murder weapon have never been found and alleged discrepancies in witness testimony. Mr Crowley believes Struber and Wilson did not attend the 'second crime scene', or the place where a small amount of Mr Schuler's blood was later discovered. 'Once you expose that, the Crown don't have a case,' he argued. Wilson and Struber continue to maintain their innocence. In a letter to Mr Schuler's daughter Lisa, Wilson says 'I did not shoot your father and if I did I would have said so from the very start'. But Lisa and the broader Schuler family are sure the right people are behind bars. According to the police, Wilson and Struber killed Mr Schuler because they were obsessed with protecting their land. The pair had a reputation in the region for intimidating and threatening trespassers. 'It was the talk that something's going to happen out there one day,' Mr Schuler's widow Fiona Splitt said. 'Someone's going to get hurt … they always had guns with them and things like that.' Supporters of Wilson and Struber plan to go back to the Court of Appeal to overturn the murder conviction, 60 Minutes reveals. The pair's original appeal was dismissed. 'I just feel like I've been kicked in the guts right now,' Fiona says. 'It (the new appeal) is just ridiculous, the only other way of finding out anymore is tell us where Bruce is and we'll get the rest of the evidence.' In a statement provided to 60 Minutes, the Queensland Police said their investigation of the murder was 'extensive and thorough'.

Queensland police charge fourth and fifth man with murder, kidnapping over death of 52-year-old man in January
Queensland police have charged two additional men with murder following an alleged assault and kidnapping at gunpoint in Brisbane earlier this year which left a 52-year-old man dead. The additional arrests takes the total number of people charged over the incident to five. Police said all five alleged offenders were known to one another. Police said they did not believe anyone else was directly involved in the incident, which they say took place in January. It's alleged the 52-year-old man was assaulted in the evening of January 5 near Rudyard Street in Inala, in the city's south-west. Speaking to the media in January, Detective Inspector Chris Knight said the 52-year-old and two others had been taken against their will and threatened with violence by the alleged offenders. He said the group was then taken to another location where they were "subject to more violence over a number of hours" before being returned to their vehicle. Police say the 52-year-old arrived at Logan Hospital in the early hours of January 6 with "significant head injuries", and despite being transferred to a specialist care facility died on January 7. In January, police charged a 31-year-old Birkdale man and a 32-year-old Griffin man with murder, grievous bodily harm, armed robbery, kidnapping and torture in connection to the man's death. Then in May, they charged a 26-year-old Cleveland man with murder and 17 other offences including armed robbery, kidnapping, torture and trafficking dangerous drugs, which police said are now before the court. On Sunday, August 3, police arrested a 26 and 29-year-old man they allege to have also been involved. Both have been charged with murder, kidnapping, torture and grievous bodily harm. In a statement, Detective Inspector Chris Knight said the additional arrests highlighted months of "exhaustive forensic examination, intelligence gathering and coordinated efforts" by specialist units. Detective Inspector Knight said investigations were ongoing, and although police did not believe anyone else was involved in the kidnapping, hoped the release of new images may lead to more information. The 26 and 29-year-old men were expected to face Brisbane Magistrates Court tomorrow.

WA dad who impregnated daughter, 14, has jail term reduced
EXCLUSIVE Warning: Graphic content A father who googled fake DNA tests after he impregnated his biological 14-year-old daughter has had his jail term reduced after the original sentence was found to be 'unjust'. The forklift driver from Western Australia, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty in 2024 to 40 counts of sexual offending against his daughter, which came to light after the girl fell pregnant with his child. The man committed the offences between 2019 and 2022 while the girl was aged 11 to 14. He also pleaded guilty to five counts of possessing child exploitation material after filming several of the acts. In August 2024, he was sentenced to 14 years and six months in prison for the offending. However, the father appealed the sentence on the basis that he was only given a 10 per cent discount for an early guilty plea, arguing it should have been 25 per cent. The man's lawyer, Mark Gunning, told the court that a 10 per cent discount was 'manifestly inadequate' given that his client had spared the girl the need to testify at trial. WA Director of Public Prosecutions lawyer Natalie Sinton said the 10 per cent discount was not 'unreasonable' as the father had filmed his acts and the girl had given birth to his child, making the prosecution case 'overwhelmingly' strong. The WA Supreme Court appeals panel ruled the 10 per cent discount was 'unreasonable' and 'plainly unjust'. The panel resentenced the man and increased the discount to 22 per cent for counts 1, 2 and 3, and 20 per cent for the remaining counts – reducing the sentence to 12 years. 'As strong as the State's case was in relation to all of the counts, counts 1, 2 and 3 were slightly weaker, having regard to the fact that they were not videoâ€'recorded,' the panel decision stated. 'Brazen' offending During the appeal process, the court heard how the offending came to light after the girl's school reported the pregnancy. The daughter then confided in her mother, who had separated from the father in 2010, that the baby was his. The court heard how the father made several Google searches on his phone after being first interviewed by police in 2023, which included 'Can a mother refuse a paternity test Australia', 'What does a fake DNA test look like?', 'How long can a drug test pick up meth?' and 'Can police see deleted DMs?' He also read a news article which was entitled: 'Man jailed for fake DNA test to deny parentage of two sons.' A DNA test later confirmed the baby was his. The appeals panel pointed out in their decision that the offending was 'brazen'. 'Sometimes, it occurred when there were other children in the house. On one occasion, it occurred when there were other children in the room,' The WA Supreme Court decision stated. The 12-year sentence is backdated from March 28, 2023. He is already eligible for parole.
