Police lost telephone intercept data in vampire gigolo murder probe, court hears May 16, 2016 12:01am By Padraic Murphy Herald Sun http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/law-order/police-lost-telephone-intercept-data-in-vampire-gigolo-murder-probe-court-hears/news-story/73a1866ab23108e0ecfd90f89d51a46f?nk=b5dc8b02781e48860e3241b58b71557a-1465191264

Shane Chartres-Abbott was murdered in 2003. CORRUPTION busters investigating the murder of vampire gigolo Shane Chartres-Abbott lost potentially vital telephone intercept material, it has been claimed.

The Supreme Court heard today the Office of Police Integrity, which investigated links between the murder and corrupt police, were forced to use the Victoria Police telephone intercept unit because they were having “trouble” with their own equipment.

This meant other officers had to be briefed on the top-secret operation.

“We were briefed in relation to the fact that the Operation Drafts (which investigated the Chartres-Abbott murder) was a recently commenced investigation by the OPI, that they had a new telephone interception system, they were having trouble with it, they were losing data,” retired detective Gary Manson told the Supreme Court today.

The OPI investigated the June 2003 murder of Chartres-Abbott because of claims his address was supplied to his killers by corrupt police.

In 2014, three men were found not guilty of his murder following one of the most expensive investigations in the state’s history.

Paul Mullett.

The OPI’s incompetence was revealed today in the bitter Supreme Court feud between former Police Association secretary Paul Mullett and former Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon.

Mr Manson told the court that investigators listened in to more than 2000 phone calls made by Mr Mullett, many to former Deputy Commissioner Noel Ashby, a fierce rival of Ms Nixon’s who was once touted for the top job.

“I believe it was approximately a couple of days to summarise because of the sheer volume, and then they were transferred from us,” Mr Manson said.

Mr Mullett is suing Ms Nixon claiming he was maliciously suspended and prosecuted in 2007.

The hearing continues.

UPDATE: Guilty: Stalker terrified juror for 'vampire gigolo' Shane Chartes-Abbot murder trial

Guilty: Stalker terrified juror for 'vampire gigolo' Shane Chartes-Abbot murder trial November 6, 2014 By Steve Butcher and Mark Russell

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/guilty-stalker-terrified-juror-for-vampire-gigolo-shane-chartesabbot-murder-trial-20141106-11hzyf.html

A man who "terrified" the jury forewoman during the Supreme Court trial of three men accused of murdering "vampire gigolo" Shane Chartres-Abbott has pleaded guilty to a charge of stalking her.

The woman revealed to the trial judge earlier this year that the man had texted her that "Evang G and friends say hi the jury girl ..." and that "they wili [sic] come 2 visit 4 a private party".

A Melbourne court heard that "Evang G" was one of the accused men, Evangelos Goussis, who was then on trial with Warren Shea and Mark Perry, who had all pleaded not guilty.

The woman, who cannot be identified, was discharged from the jury in June before the men were acquitted the following month.

Goussis is serving a life sentence with a 30-year non-parole period for the gangland killings of Lewis Moran and Lewis Caine in 2004.

Chartres-Abbott was on trial in the County Court in 2003, for the rape and mutilation of Mr Perry's ex-girlfriend at a hotel in Prahran in July 2002, when he was shot dead.

Melbourne Magistrates Court was told on Thursday that after the forewoman raised the text message with Justice Lex Lasry towards the end of the trial on June 19, a series of other texts she had recently received from the man, Dan Baron, and other conduct were revealed.

Crown prosecutor Kieran Gilligan said Justice Lasry and others were concerned that Baron, 46, had given Goussis information about the woman, but police investigations "concluded there was no connection".

Mr Gilligan said Baron's relationship with the woman had deteriorated to the point in late 2013 where she wanted him to leave because of his violent and abusive behaviour.

He said that between May and June this year Baron, who knew she had been called for jury duty, sent her a series of text messages from Telstra pay phones.

Mr Gilligan told magistrate Donna Bakos that the woman was "terrified and extremely distressed" by the "Evang G and friends" text after which she warned Baron he had committed an offence and that police would investigate.

Mr Gilligan read part of Justice Lasry's reaction, which included expressing his anger, that it was a "very significant interference" with a serious case and that whoever ultimately dealt with (Baron) took into account his comments.

Defence lawyer Robert Stary conceded the seriousness of Baron's "debilitating" and continuing conduct, but noted the absence of aggravating features such as physical injury or property damage.

Mr Stary said Baron, who did not know Goussis or his "history", had limited criminal convictions but had strong family support.

Baron, he said, was seriously assaulted in prison after his arrest on June 24, sustaining injuries that included a "smashed" knee cap, a "shattered" left cheek bone and "puncture wounds" to his face from which he spent almost three weeks in hospital.

Mr Stary said his client denied the suggestion the attack was motivated by a drug debt, but he could not say who the assailants were or "who organised the fight in the prison system".

He had not "read the signs" in the collapse of his relationship and had reflected in custody on his conduct that had put him there.

"He is paying a very high price," Mr Stary said, which included being held in protective custody. Ms Bakos will sentence him next month.

Juror in 'vampire' gigolo murder trial slipped out of hotel for sly drink

Date July 8, 2014

It was last Thursday night when one of the jurors in the 'vampire' gigolo murder trial needed a drink badly.

The jury had been locked up in a hotel near the Supreme Court building after retiring earlier in the day to consider its verdict in the trial of Mark Perry, 46, Evangelos Goussis, 46, and Warren Shea, 42, accused of murdering self-proclaimed ‘vampire’ gigolo Shane Chartres-Abbott at Reservoir on June 4, 2003.

Supreme Court Justice Lex Lasry had decided to keep the jury sequestered until it handed down verdicts.

Justice Lasry, in the jury’s absence on Friday, pointed out to the Crown prosecutor and the three defence barristers how there had been a problem with one of the jurors who ‘‘enjoyed a drink’’ the previous night.

The juror had been given some alcohol but it wasn’t enough so he slipped out of the hotel some time after 9.30pm to get some more.

‘‘The jury is locked up and therefore obviously that should not have happened,’’ the judge said.

But he said he was satisfied that was all that had happened and the juror had not spoken to anybody else.

‘‘They're staying at a place which has a licensed premises, a supermarket, not a hotel, reasonably close by. He walked to that and walked back and has assured (the judge’s tipstaff) that that's all that happened ...’’

Justice Lasry said he had three options - do nothing as the juror had already been admonished by the tipstaff, discharge the juror from the jury or discharge the jury.

The judge then stood down for a few minutes to let the other lawyers get instructions.

When he returned to the bench the prosecutor and the three defence barristers said they did not believe any further action needed to be taken.

‘‘Let's hope the juror has adequate arrangements made for his needs this evening if that's necessary," Justice Lasry added.

The jury’s deliberations continued until they handed down not guilty verdicts for the three accused men on Tuesday morning.
