Only one item remains outstanding in the brief of evidence in the alleged murder case of a Rockhampton grandmother in her own home.
Graeme Colin Wollington, 68, was charged with the murder of his 74-year-old neighbour, Linda Kerr, in late July, 2023.
They lived in cottages near PresCare’s Alexandra Gardens on the corner of Farm and Alexandra streets, Kawana.
Queensland Ambulance Service was called to the address at 7.29pm on July 16, 2023, for a medical incident and the matter was referred to police.
Mr Wollington’s murder charge was mentioned in Rockhampton Magistrates Court on November 20 where defence lawyer Oscar Millroy said the outstanding material in the brief of evidence, which had previously been described by his colleague Stephanie Nicholas as “voluminous”, had been handed to defence that day.
Police prosecutor Brandon Selic said there was still one statement outstanding – from the scientific officer.
He asked Magistrate Lance Rundle to make a direction that the officer make the statement a priority, however said he did not think it was needed at this point in time.
Mr Wollington’s charge was adjourned to January 22, 2025.
