An inquest into the death of Joshua Warneke has finally begun, more than a decade after he was left for dead on the side of the road in a popular resort town in WA. Warneke’s body was discovered by a taxi driver on Old Broome Rd, Broome, minutes after the 21-year-old left a nightclub. Since then one of the state’s most controversial cold cases has hit the headlines because of a botched police investigation, a wrongful manslaughter conviction and corruption probe.
Ten minutes later he was found dead on the side of Old Broome Rd by a taxi driver. Gene Gibson spent five years behind bars for the crime after police said he confessed. But the Indigenous man from a remote community did not understand the police questions, could not speak or read English and was not offered an interpreter. The Crime and Corruption Commission called the interviews “flawed”, finding “systematic failures” in the WA Police investigation.
