NSW: Childs suspect refuses to answer questions on death

EDS: Please note the coroner has given express permission for publication of all evidence
in today's proceedings under section 45 3(c) of the Coroner's Act



SYDNEY, Dec 15 AAP - The remaining person of interest in the death of Sydney woman
Rachelle Childs has refused to answer a series of allegations relating to her death.

Kevin Correll, Ms Childs' former boss at Camden Holden, is the last of nine persons
of interest at the inquest not yet eliminated as a suspect.

Mr Correll earlier this week denied he had defrauded Camden Holden and that he had
arranged a meeting, and had in fact met, Ms Childs on the night of her death.

They were among a number of explosive claims levelled at the former caryard boss.

He remained tightlipped in the witness box today, refusing to answer more than 30 questions.

Counsel assisting the inquest, Peter Singleton, asked: "Mr Correll, what happened to
Rachelle Childs that brought about the end of her life?"

Shaking his head, Mr Correll refused to answer on legal advice.

Mr Singleton continued: "You killed Rachelle Childs didn't you?"

Again, Mr Correll exercised his right to silence.
