In a Parkes Road case a defendant faced charges of theft and receiving involving a lamb. Detective Consinnie Grell described the incident and the defendant’s statements after arrest, noting admissions about the act and related movements to a property owned by Beth Murphy. The court heard how the suspect allegedly took a lamb from a location near the Parkes Road area and admitted to the crime, with authorities continuing to pursue related evidence and disclosures.
