Lawyer slams magistrate for issuing suppression order for Samantha Murphy’s alleged murderer

Victoria has been labelled the nation’s suppression order capital following the controversial news a suppression order had been granted for the man accused of allegedly murdering Samantha Murphy.

Partner at Thomsom Geer Laywers, Justin Quill criticised the granting of the order and says he suspects the order will be lifted this morning.

“If you’re going to ask me what’s the reason for it [being granted], my answer to that is no good reason … we consider there just wasn’t a proper basis for making a suppression order in that case,” he told Tom Elliott.
