Newly-released video shows Peter Falconio's killer questioned

Australian police have released bodycam footage showing one of the last attempts to get Bradley Murdoch to reveal the location of Peter Falconio's body, on the 25th anniversary of his murder.

Huddersfield-born Falconio was shot dead on a remote stretch of highway near the Northern Territory town of Barrow Creek in July 2001, while travelling with girlfriend Joanne Lees around Australia.

Lees was kidnapped by Murdoch but managed to escape by hiding in outback scrub for several hours before she was able to wave down two men driving a truck.

"I need you to have a think about if Peter Falconio was your son Quinton, and somebody knew something about where his body was", a police officer is seen asking Murdoch in the video filmed in June 2025.

Murdoch died the following month, while serving a life sentence for the murder of the 28-year-old.
