Mother jailed over helping son flee Australia to avoid drug trafficking charges
A central Queensland mother has been sentenced to four years in jail for her role in helping her son flee Australia to avoid facing court over serious drug trafficking charges.
Key points:
- Elizabeth Turner’s son Markis disappeared a month before his trial over drug charges was due to start in 2015
- The court heard she was involved in her son’s escape from Australia
- She will be eligible for parole after serving two years of her sentence
A jury found Elizabeth Anne Turner, 66, guilty at her trial in November 2020 of one count of attempting to pervert the course of justice and three counts of giving a false testimony.
Sentencing was delayed due to her request for a medical and psychological examination.
