Fresh look at Lavers murder case renews questions
Grenfell and local papers highlight the Sept 1936 murder case of W H Laver of Glenelg in which no body was produced. McDermott, serving a life term after conviction, remains doubted as fresh facts are investigated by Public Solicitor R W Howling and H J Cunningham. If re opened and McDermott proven innocent, he could be granted a discretionary payment though no legal recompense is due.
