Rayne Murder Probe

The Police Commissioner, Karl O'Callghan, says his officers are under a lot of pressure to solve the murder case of Perth woman Corryn Rayney.
The Commissioner says the investigative competence of the force is under scrutiny following the overturning of the Mallard and Walsham convictions and says they have learned from those cases.
He says that is why highly qualified forensic officers and detectives are being used to sift through evidence from the Rayney murder.
"Well I think you know it always will be under question, it always will be under scrutiny and I think we learn from some of the things that happened in the past and certainly in may of the cases post Mallard, there's been changes to legislation, there's been changes to procedures and there's been a lot much more intensity at the early investigative phase," he said.
He says he is disappointed it took a week for the public to call Crimestoppers with a location of Mrs Rayney's car, which was found in Kershaw Street, Subiaco a week after she disappeared.
Mr O'Callaghan says it is a slow process to find the killer.

Lets hope when this individual is finally charged that half of his evidence is not rendered inadmissible...
