Father of Daniel and Catherine Andrews’ crash victim reacts to new bombshell allegations

Peter Meuleman, the father of Daniel and Catherine Andrews’ crash victim Ryan Meuleman, has spoken out on the new bombshell allegations from a review of the police investigation of the crash in Blairgowrie back in 2013.

The review by former police assistant commissioner Dr Raymond Shuey was commissioned by the victim’s lawyers as part of his claim for damages against his former law firm.

Dr Shuey has alleged Daniel and Catherine Andrews’ crash with the teenage cyclist was covered up by police “to avoid implicating a political figure”.

“It sheds a whole new light on what happened … we don’t believe the initial police investigation was thorough at all,” Mr Meuleman told Tony Jones on 3AW Mornings.

Victoria Police said it would not be reopening its probe.

“Victoria Police conducted a thorough investigation into this matter, as did IBAC,” a spokesperson from Victoria Police said.

Daniel and Catherine Andrews have since released a joint public statement:

“This so-called report was commissioned by lawyers on behalf of their clients who are seeking money through the courts by suing their former lawyers.

“We are not a party to this legal action. We did nothing wrong. This matter has already been comprehensively and independently investigated and closed by Victoria Police and integrity agencies.

“We will not dignify these appalling conspiracy theories by commenting further at this time.”
