‘Outback killer' Bradley John Murdoch dies aged 67 after murder of Brit Peter Falconio taking secret to the grave
The murderer was diagnosed with terminal throat cancer in 2019 and was transferred to a palliative care unit from Alice Springs Correctional Centre earlier this year.
Murdoch shot dead British tourist Peter, 28, nearly 24 years ago, although the backpacker's body has never been found.
The killer had refused to reveal where the body was, meaning this secret may never be revealed.

Latham criticised for alleged photos of female colleagues; unemployment up; and the road to Idiocracy
Welcome, readers, to Afternoon Update. The New South Wales housing minister, Rose Jackson, has labelled the independent MP Mark Latham a 'pig' after allegations he took covert photographs of female colleagues in the upper house and shared them. The messages, reportedly sent to his former partner Nathalie Matthews and published in the Daily Telegraph on Thursday, allegedly included disparaging comments about the female politicians' appearance. In one message, the former One Nation MP allegedly made comments about the Liberal MP Eleni Petinos, saying she 'looks pregnant'. 'I pinched her bum lightly and she smiled!! Change of heart!!' The NSW premier, Chris Minns, labelled Latham's allegedly disparaging remarks 'troubling', and claimed he would be sacked in any other workplace, while Jackson said: 'Mark Latham is a pig.'

Clive Palmer's Trumpet of Patriots and United Australia parties hit with data breach
The political parties run by Australian mining magnate Clive Palmer have been hit with a ransomware attack, with banking records, employment history and other personal information potentially compromised. The Trumpet of Patriots, which ran but did not secure any seats at May's federal election, announced to supporters on Thursday that a breach occurred on 23 June and related to information from the party as well as its predecessor, the United Australia party. The news was first reported by Crikey, which reported an email was sent to supporters. The information was also posted to the Trumpet of Patriots party website. The party said there was unauthorised access to its servers on 23 June, resulting in access and the possible exfiltration of data records, potentially including all emails to and from the parties, and documents and records created by the parties. Trumpet of Patriots said this could include email addresses, phone numbers, identity records, banking records, employment history, and other documents, but said the party was unsure of the amount of information. 'We do not know comprehensively what information of yours was on the server but you should assume that any information you have provided would have been stored on the server. 'We do not keep a record of all individuals who were on the server.' Trumpet of Patriots said it was 'impracticable to notify individuals'. The systems have been secured and restored from backups, the party said, adding it had reported the breach to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) and the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD). Party supporters have been advised to review what information they provided to the party, and consider what action may need to be taken. They have also been advised to keep alert for potential scams arising from the breach. Under the mandatory data breach notification scheme, organisations have 30 days to assess whether a breach is serious enough to require reporting to the OAIC and to those affected. OAIC guidelines state if it is not possible to contact everyone affected, an organisation must put the notification on their website, and promote the notification through email or social media or other channels. The OAIC has been contacted for comment. Palmer's party failed to pick up any seats in the federal election, despite spending what the billionaire estimated was up to $60m in advertising to promote the party across the country, and sending millions of unsolicited text messages to Australians through the election campaign. In the 2023-2024 financial year, the ASD responded to 121 ransomware incidents, making up 11% of all incidents dealt with by the agency. The OAIC reported that in the same time frame, of the 413 cybersecurity incidents that resulted in a data breach, 26% involved ransomware.

Former South Yorkshire Police worker must pay back £100,000
A former South Yorkshire Police worker who stole thousands of pounds from the force has been ordered to pay back a further £100, Fletcher, 55, of Boundary Walk in Rotherham, was jailed for two years eight months in 2018 for four counts of theft, and told to pay back £47, order has since been reviewed, and a judge at Sheffield Crown Court said on 8 July that Fletcher must pay another £108, she does not pay the total in three months she could be jailed again, police said. Fletcher worked in Attercliffe Police Station's property store and in 2013 a "large amount of cash" was seized during a police investigation, the force said she counted and banked the money for the force but she actually banked £98,500 to her own account with £1,500 into the force account. She left the force in 2015. The theft came to light in summer 2017, police said, when a Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) investigation connected to the seized money requested the cash but it could not be investigation was launched by the Yorkshire and Humber Regional Organised Crime Unit (YHROCU) and Fletcher was told to pay £47, said the original 2018 order had been reconsidered and Fletcher must now pay the extra sum calculated from assets acquired since the first confiscation she fails to pay in three months she could face a 12-month prison Supt James Axe, the force's head of professional standards, said police employees should behave "professionally, honestly and with integrity" but "Fletcher showed none of these traits" and had "behaved disgracefully".He said the money recovered by YHROCU's "vital work" means more money is secured for community grants and police training so criminals cannot keep benefitting.
