Bogie triple murder accused denies shooting family
The grazier accused of a triple murder at Bogie in north Queensland in 2022 has been cross-examined by prosecutors.
Darryl Valroy Young, 63, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder in a Supreme Court trial in Townsville, Australia. Young is accused of shooting and killing Mervyn and Maree Schwarz, as well as Graham Tighe, at the gate of his Bogie cattle station, Shannonvale Station, in 2022. During the trial, Young denied shooting the Schwarz and Tighe family and claimed that he did not possess the .30-30 rifle that prosecutors allege was the murder weapon.
The court heard that Young did not have a .30-30 rifle registered to him and none were found on his property. Young also stated that he removed motion detection cameras from his front gate on the morning of August 3, 2022, the day before the alleged murder.
