So what are the police trying to hide?
The inquest into Dianne Brimble’s death on a P&O cruise ship resumed today and most of the attention was on efforts by NSW and South Australia police to suppress some evidence and keep it out of the public domain. Also, one of the two detectives who first investigated her death, Senior Constable Erdinc Ozen, has also been busy trying to avoid having to appear at the coronial inquest to give evidence. He claimed a medical condition prevents him appearing, but the coroner isn’t buying this.
So, I wonder what the police are trying to hide from becoming public? Evidence of a slipshod, incompetent investigation? Or is there more to it? It has been reported that Mr Ozen had previously been employed by P&O to deter bad behaviour during a “schoolies’ cruise” in 2001. Why did he score the job of being the investigating officer? Interesting coincidence!

This whole Diane Brimble thing is starting to grate on me, only for the fact that whatever she did or didn’t do, her name doesn’t deserve to be sullied and dragged ad nauseum through the pages of our newspapers like it has.
Stop telling us about it till it’s over, and they’re charged, I say.
