After hearing Justin Stein’s account into the disappearance of nine-year-old Charlise Mutten, police turned their attention to whether he knew more than he was telling them. The 33-year-old, who is on trial for the schoolgirl’s murder after pleading not guilty, claims it was the girl’s mother, Kallista Mutten, who shot her own daughter. Stein’s lawyer told the court earlier this week he had initially lied to police to cover for Mutten because the pair were in a relationship.
Stein tells police he spent that time travelling to locations across Sydney, including Rose Bay and Drummoyne, to ask contacts from his criminal past if they knew what happened to Charlise. Prosecutors allege Stein was in fact looking for a suitable location to dump Charlise’s body.
