1. Murder/ Suicide Investigation
An autopsy will be carried out today on the bodies of four-year old Eeva Dorendahl-Hutchings and her father Greg Hutchings.
Police have confirmed they are investigating an apparent murder-suicide but the cause of death will be determined by the NSW Coroner.
News Limited have reported that the investigation will focus on whether drowning or poisoning could have killed four-year-old Eeva after no weapons were found at the crime scene on Pottsville Beach.
Mr Hutchings mother Diana yesterday said she did not believe her son had killed his daughter.
“I don’t believe it was a murder-suicide, no,” she said yesterday.

I am so happy about item number 12. That is a fantastic development, and I am proud it's an Australian achievement as well. Brilliant news. Well done to Brisbane’s Translational Research Institute.
I did the Brazilian Butterfly Queen of the Lake walk last year to raise funds towards OC research. I also try and raise awareness as:
-in Australia, three women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer every day.
- currently, there is no early detection test for ovarian cancer and the Pap test does not detect the disease.
- approximately 75% of women are diagnosed at an advanced stage, but if ovarian cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, women have an 80% chance of being alive and well after five years.
Also, I hope they find Peter Falconio's body so that his family and loved ones can finally take him home and lay him to rest.
I just started working at the TRI. I'm just in admin but It is an honour to know the people involved in the research.
I am playing devils advocate here and i don't know if this was the case in the abortion article BUT...... can women be charged with a crime for tricking men into getting them pregnant? Because this is the opposite. If he was tricked why not trick back?
No, it's not a crime. Moral minefield aside, it would be so difficult to prove.
Well he obviously didnt want her to have the baby. She did. Its the oldest trick in the book. Part of me thinks well thats the risk of having sex, the other part thinks why would she want to have a baby with her partner if he was so against it? Doesnt really make for happy families.
A miscarriage is painful both mentally and physically, it isn't anything to take lightly.
He harmed her.
They're completely different situations, to my way of thinking. If a couple are having sex, there's generally the possibility that it may result in pregnancy despite contraception. So that's a risk people take, knowing the possible consequences. If a man doesn't want to take that risk, well, then, there are things he can do about that! Moreover, if she does fall pregnant and keep the baby, he still has the choice of whether or not he sticks around.
But the situation in the news article, the woman wasn't taking a risk where she knew what the possible consequences were, nor did she have any choice over how those consequences affected her. And those consequences were really destructive.
