Police seek to allay outrage after death of parents-to-be

After Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk raised questions on Thursday morning about why the teen was allowed “out on bail”, Mr Codd offered as much clarification as he legally could.

“He was not on bail with any conditions, or released on bail … with any conditions, or released on bail for any matters, serious matters, serious criminal matters, that are analogous to the events that we saw on Tuesday,” he told reporters. “And to draw that conclusion is unhelpful to anybody at this stage.”

“I think the discussion, more broadly, about how the hell this happened … is a really important message. All of these facts will be released when the courts allow it to occur in open court in the weeks and months to come.
