Talk:Murder of Graeme Thorne

Untitled

It was believed by Police that Bradley did not act alone. They believe that they know the identity of his accomplice but never had the evidence to prove it.

I'm surprised to hear this -- it's never come up in any history of the case that I've read. What source of information do you have? - Russell Brown 11:35, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I watched Crime scene Australia and at the end they unequivocally mentioned the unamed second suspect

Sentence for murder

Does anyone know why Bradley did not receive the death penalty? Apparently it was pre-meditated murder. Edward Carson (talk) 01:09, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

He was not committed of murder, was he? Anyway, kidnapping was not a capital offence at the time. Socrates2008 (talk) 09:51, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Bradley was convicted of murder, but NSW had abolished the death penalty in 1955. WWGB (talk) 00:24, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

Wife /kids

What became of Bradley's wife/kids after the trial ?-were they given anonymity in a new country?

Possible Copyright Infringement/Citations

This article has sentences which are very similar to ones in the Crime Library article. This should be fixed. Also, more inline citations would be good. I've tagged the article as such. Paris1127 (talk) 04:56, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Proper Surname Use

I changed references of "Thorne" to "Graeme Thorne", where the noun referenced the murdered boy. I found that solely using the surname in a story where the whole family is involved was confusing. Feel free to undo if I'm wrong to do so. Cbihun (talk) 12:56, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Please clarify Australian law

So, the kidnapper claimed that that the child died of suffocation in the car, and was not murdered by someone whose intent was to force the child to die. Why would that be relevant? Even if the death were not premeditated, it would still be murder because (a) it was the result of a felony in commission and (b) it was depraved indifference during a felony. That would be the law in New York State, so, I can't imagine arguing this technicality in Court. How is Australian law different?2600:1700:6759:B000:1C64:8308:33BC:E2D6 (talk) 21:05, 19 November 2023 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson
