reports that police will allege Stein, who is Charlise’s mother Kallista Mutten’s fiance, drove around Sydney for up to five hours with Charlise’s body in the back of the boat while he tried to work out where to dump her.
Charlise was reported missing from a wedding estate in Mt Wilson at 8.20am on Friday January 14, though police were told she was last seen some time on Thursday afternoon.The nine-year-old was reported missing from a Mt Wilson last Friday.This sparked a major air and ground search of the bushland surrounding the property.
Acting Commissioner Webb said the cause of Charlise’s death is yet to be determined and the investigation remains ongoing. “What we are sure of is that the accused that we charged with murder was responsible for, firstly, placing her in the barrel, and then disposing of that barrel in the bushland where she was located,” he told reporters.
A police prosecutor requested an adjournment of 13 weeks for a brief of evidence due to “the complexities of the matter”. Ms Mutten is currently under medical supervision, with Deputy Commissioner Hudson saying she has been “difficult” to approach and contact.He said the investigation is ongoing at, at this stage, there is no evidence to support anything other than that the accused acted alone.‘Goodbye beautiful girl’: Dad’s emotional post
