Two people charged with helping Zlatko Sikorsky after teen girl's murder


READ MORE

Her alleged killer has been charged but police are still attempting to establish how Brisbane teenager Larissa Beilby’s body wound up inside a barrel north of the Gold Coast.


Zlatko Sikorsky, 34, was on Sunday charged with murder and misconduct of a corpse after being arrested on Saturday following a 28-hour siege on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

Sikorsky will face Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Monday accused of killing the 16-year-old high school student.


Police however said their investigation was very much ongoing with the cause of Larissa’s death yet to be determined and question marks over how many people helped Sikorsky.


The wanted 34-year-old Zlatko Sikorsky has surrendered to Queensland Police.

A 40-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man have already been charged with being accessories after the fact to murder and will both face Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Monday.


But detectives told reporters on Sunday they were still investigating if Sikorsky received additional help.


“Information is still vital to the investigation,” Inspector Damien Hansen said.


“His movements. His connection to Larissa. We’re interested in hearing from any person.”


‘Darling angel’


Larissa Beilby’s family confirmed the teenager was dead, posting a heartfelt statement on Facebook.


“With a broken heart shattered into more than a million pieces our family is utterly destroyed to inform you all that Larissa has been taken from us,” sister Deanna posted on behalf of her family. 


“Our beautiful girl has been reunited with our beloved wife and mother. Fly high our darling angel, until we see you again Rissy.”


Police have been investigating the disappearance of 16-year-old Larissa Beilby.

She was last seen by family members at a home in Brisbane’s northern suburbs on June 15, and was reported missing by her father, Peter Beilby, on Tuesday.


The following day police went to a house at Buccan, south of Brisbane, as part of their inquiries.


As they arrived at the property a man drove off in a black ute.


The ute was later located inside a gated community at Stapylton, north of the Gold Coast, with Larissa’s body inside a barrel on the ute’s tray.


The location of the body sparked a manhunt for Sikorsky who was located on Friday afternoon at a unit at Alexandra Headland on the Sunshine Coast.


After more than a day of negotiations, Sikorsky was arrested without incident on Saturday evening.


Superintendent Mark White told reporters police had been “actively trying” to find Sikorsky before the body’s discovery as he was wanted on a return to prison warrant.


Supt White praised investigators as well as the public for the swift arrest of Sikorsky.


“Seventy-two hours after we commenced the investigation we had a male person in custody, so from our perspective it’s been very successful,” he said.

Banned Bancroft's journey of self-discovery

Image
READ MORE © Getty Images Spanish lessons, yoga and a host of community work have all been part of the path taken by Cameron Bancroft since the Newlands ball-tampering scandal. The Australia batsman has been looking to seek the sort of perspective and self-knowledge that will prevent him from following the kind of instructions issued to him by David Warner in the Cape Town dressing room. Bancroft spoke in Perth on Saturday ahead of his return to cricket via Twenty20 and 50-over appearances in the Northern Territory, where he will also endeavour to work closely in developing local talent. It’s the next step on the path away from Newlands as Bancroft serves a nine-month ban from the game imposed by Cricket Australia under its code of conduct. Perspective on life was greatly needed as Bancroft, Warner and the former captain Steven Smith pondered what evolved in South Africa, and Bancroft said he had spent plenty of time devoting himself broadening his own knowledge and also to...

Drones to become the new naval mine hunters under Morrison pledge

Image
READ MORE Advanced navies worldwide are increasingly turning to drones to do mine hunting and clearing work at sea. Marcus Hellyer, a former Defence Department official and now a senior analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, said that using autonomous and unmanned sea vehicles allowed the crewed ship to stay at the edge of a minefield, keeping naval personnel safer. The Morrison government has promised if re-elected to fast-track the building of two new mine hunting naval ships. Credit: Nine Newspapers “Common sense has prevailed,” he said of the decision. “Rather than keeping going down the path where you have old technology being extended at great cost, this will introduce new technology more quickly and that’s a good thing. “The current path does keep the human at the centre of the minefield, but the new approach lets them stay outside the minefield and let autonomous vehicles go in and do the dangerous work.” Article source: https:/...
