SOLOMON ISLANDS: Men acquitted over RAMSI officer's death
Updated
In the Solomon Islands, the High Court in Honiara has acquitted two men of murdering Australian Federal Police Officer, Adam Dunnning. He was serving with the Regional Assistance Mission, RAMSI when his vehicle was ambushed by sniper fire on a Honiara backstreet in December 2004.
Justice Edwin Goldsbrough described the crime as "horrendous" but said there was no evidence that James Tatau and John Ome were guilty of the crime. Justice Goldsbrough said there was no doubt that there was a conspiracy to attack RAMSI vehicles and that the crime did occur. But he said the crown evidence could not prove "beyond reasonable doubt" the guilt of the men.
