Daniel Morcombe: Assistant commissioner being probed over alleged misconduct during coronial inquest

One of Queensland’s most senior police officers is being investigated over claims of misconduct at the time of the 2016 coronial inquest into the murder of Sunshine Coast teenager Daniel Morcombe.

Key points:

  • Claims of misconduct by Assistant Commissioner Mike Condon being investigated
  • It’s claimed Mr Condon colluded with other officers to prevent two detectives giving evidence at inquest
  • Mr Condon is defending way he ran the Daniel Morcombe investigation

Assistant Commissioner Mike Condon was head of homicide in 2003 when the 13-year-old boy was abducted and murdered by Brett Peter Cowan.

A coronial inquest into the case in December last year spent two days examining the adequacy of the police investigation.
