UNSOLVED ISLAND DEATH

Expect the unexpected when the  Magnetic Island   Museum launches   an exhibition . Its latest display  includes "Evidence  Rocks ", on which there was human tissue , seized by    police during  investigations  into  the  death of  a young woman,   found  face down in  a  pool of water ,  in the early  l980s.   Charged with murder , a  man , with limited writing skills  , was acquitted  after   a  statement   he  allegedly made was ruled inadmissible because he  could   not  have  composed  it  on  his   own. The  stones were  kept  at the old  police station  , later closed , the premises   sold ,  the current  owner   doing a  major restoration of the premises , with 52 windows , intending  to possibly make  it  and   the  lock up  a   business  venture. The   latest  museum  display  covers  the  background  to   many  of  the  island's services,  including  the   police.
