Catching Lisa’s Killer: The Inquest – Day 6

A surprise witness at the inquest into the disappearance of Lisa Govan generated some unexpected drama, four weeks after the inquiry was adjourned. The former boyfriend of the missing Kalgoorlie woman left abusive messages on her phone and threw away the clothes he had been wearing when she vanished. In a series of revelations,  Tim Hammel said he was unhappy that his “de facto wife” had been out drinking while he was working a night shift at the super pit gold mine, admitted being friends with Gypsy Joker bikies and claimed he would have “kicked down the door” of the Club Deroes clubhouse had he known his girlfriend was there.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
