22nd August 2025 – Report on the Coroner's Findings
As Elly’s father, I have prepared a report on the inquest and Coroner’s findings from an industrial engineering perspective, examining several key elements. People who are familiar with this approach will understand the reliability of obtaining the facts with the methods used in examining these key elements. It identifies serious flaws in evidence handling, inconsistencies in official accounts, and concerns that critical material was not properly disclosed by the AFP, tested, or properly assessed. Key forensic opportunities have been missed. while some evidence presented or relied upon appears to have been misleading or incomplete, raising fundamental questions about the reliability and integrity of the coroners findings. There are also serious concerns regarding potential institutional bias, given the involvement of a VIFM pathologist linked to the Coroner’s own medical body, calling into question the independence and objectivity of the expert evidence relied upon. In addition, relevant witnesses were either not initially called, called only after significant delay, or not called at all, despite the apparent importance of their evidence to key factual issues under examination!!
includes;
Medical evidence demonstrating it was impossible for Elly to pack her own airways with sand.
Melbourne pathologist's findings of minimal sand and the questions arising from those findings.
Evidence indicating Elly's body was moved after death.
Clarification of overlooked issues.
Witnesses not called despite acknowledged evidentiary gaps. However the coroner did not want the relevant witnesses to fully explain those gaps!!
The change in cause of death from Undetermined to Aspiration of a Large Amount of Sand.
