the Deceptions

“These are solid facts which are all fully supported”

The re-enactment photo above gives you some idea of how the

ripped apart top would look like when standing up?

At the bottom of this report is the re-enactment photograph of the crime scene photo. It is a very close setup to the actual “clear” crime scene photo sent to the Honorary Consul by the fisherman when he left Tofo which is explained below. I went to a lot of trouble to have the reenactment of the clear photo produced and it’s very close to the actual photograph of Elly’s body the way it looked when the first person to find Elly’s body, a fisherman, had taken the photo at 5am.

Note; This report is intricate so that you will be able to fully

understand the extent of deceptions with the maze of different

key elements exposing all Authorities.

With the burden of proof facts I have obtained I am really

amazed just how far the Australian federal police (AFP) have

gone with their deception, ever to the point of deceiving the

Coroner’s court in evidence given and also with their

submissions!!!

To ascertain the systematic sequence of deception we need to first look at the false testimony given at the inquest on the 23rd August 2023 by the Department of of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Honorary Consul (H/C) .

That is the reason behind the Honorary Consul giving False Testimony at the inquest? It’s very simple really as his motive is that he lives in Mozambique which is explained below. This then becomes a “crucial time” at the inquest which turns the inquest for Elly’s family on its head!!!

The Honorary Consul (H/C) was the first official Australian representative at the crime scene on the 12th November 2016 just 3 days after Elly’s Murder. He speaks with the locals and the tourist association Manager at the crime scene and they all said it looks like an accident!! However the one key piece of critical evidence was never talked about at the crime scene in Tofo that weekend on the 12th and 13th of November 2016, the ripped apart top which had been totally destroyed ripped from Elly’s shoulder and all the way down her Right Side. This is not spoken about or mentioned in the H/C’s report either as a possible struggle taking place raising the bar that this was No accident three days after Elly’s murder.

During the H/C visit to Tofo a fisherman informs the H/C that he had taken a photo of Elly when he discovered her body at 5am. The H/C when obtaining this photo from the fisherman had some trouble because it came out blurred at this time. The fisherman had a small phone and could not download at this time from his phone so the H/C took a picture of the fisherman's phone with the picture of Elly but it came out blurred. However you could not see much with this blurred photo, just the outline of a body on the ground with clothes at her knees. The H/C explains this in his evidence given below. The H/C and fisherman exchange phone Numbers as the H/C has the fisherman’s number entered in his report. Note;- sequence of relevant transcript Pages with evidence given at the inquest by the H/C below:- T116,117,122,123,124,

The H/C still in Tofo with the blurred photo then sends it to the embassy staff in South Africa before he heads home to Vilankulos five hours away. This is when the fisherman follows up and sends another photo to the H/C and it is now the clear version of the photo he sends to the H/C by phone in Tofo or soon after leaving Tofo on the 13th November 2016. The H/C is then shocked when looking at this clear photo because you can clearly see the top is ripped apart. The H/C becomes very worried at this point in time because this evidence proves something is definitely not right here as he had just come from Tofo and there was no talk of a ripped apart top or that a struggle has taken place. He did not want to know about this cover up by the Mozambique police at all as he has to "Live in Mozambique” so he was very worried indeed at this point in time having now been aware of this new evidence and what it has informed him about with a cover up.

H/C is fully aware what happens to people there when talking about the “Local” police in Tofo the wrong way, (THEY GO MISSING)!!! I was there in 2018 and the locals were very intimidated by the local police. Some of the local police were carrying AK- 47 machine guns.

The Australian Honorary consul then also sends the “clear

version” of the crime scene photograph to the “embassy staff in

Pretoria South Africa”.

We have two official letters below one from DFAT and the other from the AFP/ Australian Government Solicitor (AGS) that both confirm this to be the Solid Facts that the H/C had sent the “clear photo” to the Australian embassy in South Africa soon after or during his trip to Tofo only days after Elly’s murder!!

However in the H/C’s evidence given at the inquest the H/C clearly states he had no “follow up” with the fisherman and that he knew “nothing about a clear photo”. (T 125,128 below). The H/C has therefore given false testimony in court at the inquest. I don’t think he was aware of the “two official letters” stating for a fact he had passed on the clear photo to embassy staff in South Africa when he gave evidence at the inquest because he was on a zoom meeting from Mozambique and he would not know about these letters exposing him as he resides in Mozambique!!!

The reason for the H/C’s motive for not telling the truth at the inquests is because he lives in Mozambique and he did not want to be put in a position to explain any questions about the clear photo at the inquest because of what the ripped apart top in the clear photo exposed which is the local Mozambique police cover up. He did not want any trouble with the Mozambique authorities after the inquest and he would have been extremely worried about this at the time. The only way out for the H/C was to say he knew nothing about the clear photo which he did!!! But he did not know about the two letters below from DFAT and the AFP/AGS. This has now exposed the H/C with his “false testimony” given at the inquest in 2023 turning the inquest on its head for Elly’s family!!!!

This letter also acknowledges the H/C’s report in the Coronial brief as there is no mention of any ripped apart top from anyone at Tofo when he was talking with the people there and their statements about what happened on the 12th and 13th of November 2016 in the official H/C report to his superiors, (DFAT)!!

What also supports the fact that the clear photo was handed over at this time, is on Page 21 of the AFP action sheet where I obtained the clear photo in 2018 with 60 Minutes on my first trip to Tofo and the AFP/Senior Liaison Officer (SLO) Superintendent states it's the same photo the H/C got one week after Elly’s death. It was only the clear photo I obtained from Tofo that the AFP/SLO Superintendent has analyzed on page 21 of his action sheet. Still no mention to the coroner about the ripped apart top from the very experienced superintendent AFP/SLO after he has examined the clear photo again in October 2018!!!

The AFP and Mozambique police have not in any correspondence “ever” mentioned the top as ripped apart to this day!!! Even with the latest official comprehensive Mozambique police report from SERNIC on the 20th August 2020 there is no mention of a ripped apart top at all!!!! But the photo from the fisherman taken at 5am proves and tells the truth and that it was ripped apart when he took the photo at 5am. We were very lucky the fisherman took this photo as it now proves the Mozambique police cover up either way you look at it and the H/C, AFP Deception cover up in attempting to keep the clear photo quiet for what it exposed in 2016. You see the AFP can’t expose another countries authorities as this may cause trust and diplomatic issues for the AFP with their open communication channels with other countries!!!

The coroner Mr Cain in his conclusion does not even mention the ripped apart top. However he states during the inquest in my oral submissions to me. “That the ripped top is not in dispute here”. I think they all cover each other's backs as they were all very much aware the top being ripped apart in the clear photo proves there is a cover-up by the Mozambique authorities. This is why the clear photo was kept in the dark for two years until my trip to Tofo in October 2018. There would have been a few worried people when I obtained the clear photo on this trip to Tofo. You see the family was never given the clear version, only the blurred version in 2016/18!!!!!

The AFP/SLO superintendent who attended the crime scene in Tofo on the 17th & 18th of November 2016 is also very careful and obviously very experienced when talking about the photo taken by the fisherman as he does not reveal in his official statement to the court if the photo is Blurred or Clear. He is also very careful in his action sheet not to mention the photo as blurred or clear. Therefore the AFP/SLO superintendent is very careful with his “wording” on 20th November and 8th December when passing over the photos to the Mozambique chief inspector one blurred and one clear in his action sheet saying each time it's the “Fishermen's Photo”!!!

This is the same with the revised official Mozambique Police report in his action sheet he states it’s a ( “Mozambique Document ”) only not that its an official police report from SERNIC and it clearly states homicide in April 2017. The AFP/SLO Superintendent is very good at camouflaging the evidence to some degree just saying enough without saying too much in raising suspicions that a “Crime” has taken place which is clarification for the AFP to carry out there “sworn duty” and support an Australian Family in catastrophic circumstances by offering our support in sending the official Mutual Assistance Request (MAR) from attorney general to attorney general. However there can be no doubt with the facts I have the AFP were aware of the Mozambique police covered up at the crime scene early in 2016, therefore do the AFP want to become involved officially on the ground with a joint operation?!!!!

There was another official Mozambique SERNIC police report given to the AFP and DFAT that also stated Ms Warren is a victim of homicide on the 20th August 2020 and the AFP still deceived the court at the inquest in evidence given. Also with their submissions as the AFP clearly stated to the coroner that No Mozambique police authorities or police officer had stated it was a CRIME of homicide before May 2023. Unbelievably the AFP deception can’t be any further from the truth as there are three official SERNIC police reports 2017, 2020 and May 2023 and they all state that Elly Rose Warren an Australian citizen is a victim of HOMICIDE with a case file number 775/2016. This is Clearly deception and misleading the Court in evidence given by the AFP and in Submissions by the AFP commissioner!!!

I was to find out later from the coroner's assistant that the clear photo was also never entered into evidence by the AFP/SLO superintendent. The coroner’s court did not know the clear photo had ever existed two years on.!!! Only the Blurred photo was entered into evidence by the AFP/SLO Superintendent in the colonial brief of evidence in 2016/17. The clear photo was only entered into the brief of evidence later when I obtained it from my first trip to Tofo in October 2018 by the coroner's assistant to Mr Bracken who said they had never seen the clear version until I gave it to the then coroner Mr Bracken in October 2018 from my trip to Tofo!!!!

The AFP/SLO superintendent never mentioned in his statement he got the clear photo given to him on the 25th November. “Because he Can’t reveal the ripped apart top which exposes the Mozambique cover up”. However in the First letter below (Page 2 under Photo and other items) from the Assistant Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Claire Mc Comish dated the 22nd March 2019. It clearly states that the AFP/SLO superintendent passed the “unblurred” version to the Mozambique police on the 8th December 2016. It is also in his action sheet that he handed the photo over again to the Mozambique inspector on 8th December 2016. Once the AFP/SLO superintendent stationed at the embassy in Pretoria got this clear photo from DFAT on the 25th November 2016 he had no option to hand it over to the investigating authorities because of the Chain of Trace Evidence that he obtained the clear photo from DFAT. But he took 14 days to think about it, having no option now to tell his superiors he reported to which were in “London” as stated in evidence given at the inquest by the AFP superintendent.

No report on this clear version of the clear crime scene

photograph, clearly showing the ripped apart top from the AFP

was ever sent to the Victorian state coroner in 2016/18!!!!!

The AFP are the only Australian governing police authority and are “directly responsible” for any suspected crime evidence given to them relating to serious matters from overseas. In this case concerning the suspicious death of a young Australian girl which this critical factual evidence of the clear crime scene photograph clearly depicts in situ Elly’s half naked body showing her T-Shirt is clearly ripped from the right shoulder and her entire right side to the waist line!

“It’s not DFAT’s responsibility” to report on Critical crime scene evidence to the state coroner but it is DFAT’s Responsibility to hand over any critical crime scene evidence they take possession of to the AFP. It is the AFP’s total responsibility as the Australian police authority for overseas matters in supporting the Victorian state coroners Investigation to report on this critical clear crime scene photograph evidence exposing the ripped apart t- shirt, half naked body of an Australian citizen in a foreign country to the Victorian state coroner at the time in 2016!!!

In the other official letter from the Australia solicitor (AGS) given to the coroner on the 16th June 2023 it clearly supports and states the AFP were provided the “clear photo” from DFAT on the 25th November 2016. ( This is because the H/C sent the “clear photo” to DFAT at the embassy in Pretoria South Africa earlier in November just after he left Tofo ) However the AFP/SLO superintendent was already aware of the clear photo beforehand as the facts prove from page 21 in the action sheet the clear photo was given to him by the H/C around One week after Elly’s death making them both aware of the Mozambique cover up at this point in time only “seven days” after our daughter’s death!!!

The reason why the H/C false evidence has turned the Inquest on its head at the time for the family is because it breaks the chain of evidence timeline of how the Clear photo was passed on to DFAT, My Barrister and Lawyer were caught by “total surprised” at the time because all the factual evidence pointed to the H/C passing the “clear photo” over to DFAT in November 2016. I did not realise how important this was as during the adjournment that day at the inquest as my Barrister & Lawyer both informed me that it is possible now for the coroner to take the clear photo from evidence because of the broken chain of evidence. They were fully aware of how serious this was at the time.

We were to Cross examine the AFP/SLO Superintendent the next day. This meant that because the timeline was broken with how the clear photo got in the hands of DFAT with the evidence given by the H/C we could not mention the clear photo and the ripped apart top when cross examining the AFP Superintendent. I was not very happy about this situation at all because I had plenty of questions for the AFP Superintendent to answer with the Clear photo and ripped apart top. My Barrister was afraid the AFP lawyer would question the broken chain of evidence timeline with the clear photo if we were to raise any questions about the Clear photo and ripped apart top to the AFP Superintendent.

Therefore I needed to clarify the clear photo and ripped apart top at my oral submissions to the coroner. There were other important issues but this was very important and the fact Elly's body was moved as stated by the Mozambique chief inspector in 2018 because the Mozambique chief inspector had informed me in person at an arranged meeting that the sand in Elly’s mouth was not the dark dirty sand from the toilet block where her body was found.

It was not a foregone conclusion that the coroner Mr Cain was going to grant me my oral submissions. He asked me for a complete rundown of what I was going to say first before he would grant me permission. However, my lawyer sent the basic points and he accepted my oral submissions. My lawyer advised me not to expose the H/C as this will go against me at my oral submissions, possibly closing off my submissions. However I knew if I was to mention the clear photo and the ripped apart top this may prompt the AFP lawyer to question the clear photos broken chain of evidence and timeline to the coroner which the AFP Lawyer did. (T Page 287 below).

However I was surprised after the AFP lawyer questioned the timeline of the broken chain of events with the clear photo that the coroner said “He thinks there is already information about the sequence of those various steps”. This then stopped me from exposing the H/C at this point in time during my oral submissions because the coroner accepted the timeline with the clear photo. But we did not get to question the AFP/SLO superintendent about the Clear photo and ripped apart top or the H/C at the inquest because he states he never got the clear photo from the fisherman and therefore he never passed the clear version onto the embassy staff at the South African embassy in Pretoria!!!

My solid factual evidence proves the AFP and DFAT have deceived the family and the coroner's court pulling the wool over the coroner's eyes at the inquest. I have found over time with my Investigation when dealing with the AFP they are accomplished in twisting the evidence around telling half truths in deceiving and hiding the full facts. I have obtained solid proven facts of deception from the AFP and DFAT’s honorary consul at the inquest and over the course of Elly’s investigation this has had a devastating impact which has majorly affected the family's efforts to achieve justice for our daughter Elly Rose.

Conclusion

The facts prove the Australian Honorary Consul and the AFP superintendent were aware of the Mozambique cover-up in November 2016. The Honorary Consul was given a clear photo from the fisherman which clearly reveals the ripped apart top when in Tofo or just after leaving Tofo, only days after Elly’s murder!!!!

This clear version of the clear crime scene photograph proves without doubt that the murder of my daughter had in fact been “covered up” by the Mozambique local police at the crime scene in the early hours of the 9th November 2016.

The Honorary Consul was concerned about the Clear photograph because of the ripped apart top exposing the local Mozambique police in Tofo. Prompting the Honorary Consul to give false testimony at the inquest in August 2023 as he resides in Mozambique.

The facts also prove the AFP/SLO superintendent from the Australian Federal Police and therefore the AFP were also officially given the clear crime scene photograph from DFAT on the 25th November 2016. The AFP/SLO superintendent had passed this vital evidence onto the Mozambique chief inspector on the 8th December 2016. These vital facts were not entered into the AFP/SLO superintendents official statement therefore this vital evidence was clearly ghosted from the Victorian state coroner and family. A full report on this critical evidence the clear version of the crime scene photograph clearly exposing the ripped apart T-Shirt was never given to the Victorian state coroner in 2016/18 by the Australia Federal Police who are “totally responsible” for any crime or crime evidence from overseas !!!

The AFP with their evidence given and with submissions have deceived the coroner Mr Cain stating; “That no Mozambique police authorities had ever stated it was a CRIME of Homicide before May 2023”. There motive, because this is the clarification requirement by the AFP to send the official Mutual Assistance Request (MAR). The Mozambique Government in an official letter to the coroner Mr Cain on the 19th June 2023 have clearly stated; That the Mutual Assistance Request is the Only Official Process that they will respect between our two countries. The Australian authorities have just never bothered to send this Official MAR request!! The Official Mutual assistance request ACT was introduced in 1987 and it’s implementation is for all countries around the world to improved transparency and collaboration.
