The alleged man is not the alleged Falconio killer. He's alleged to have committed a crime but the Falconio mystery remains a secret to be unlocked by time itself and more interestingly may never be unlocked at all.
However, if the ABC display 'articles' that suggest someone is alleged to have been involved in the loss of someone in terms of 'alleged Falconio killer' and have attached a label that is yet to be proved, beyond a reasonable doubt, regardless if they use the word "alleged" or not, it still suggests an untruth and we all know that mud sticks, don't we Mr ABC person?
ABC: The man accused of the murder of British tourist Peter Falconio is not expected to stand trial until the middle of next year.
Bradley John Murdoch, 45, was yesterday committed to stand trial in the Northern Territory Supreme Court.
Mr Murdoch is charged with Mr Falconio's murder and the, [alleged], deprivation of liberty and unlawful assault of the tourist's girlfriend, Joanne Lees, after the pair was allegedly attacked on the Stuart Highway in July 2001.
"Fifty-three witnesses gave evidence in the four-and-a-half week committal hearing."
Ed: [?????????? Don't worry I won't put 53 question marks but I should.]
Key witnesses included Ms Lees, a forensic scientist and two people who said they saw the backpacker after he went missing.
Yesterday, crowds lined up outside the courtroom to watch the final day of proceedings.
Magistrate Alasdair McGregor asked the defendant if he wanted to say anything in response to the charges.
Mr Murdoch replied: "I'm not guilty of any of these allegations your Honour."
Mr Murdoch did not apply for bail and was remanded in custody. His trial is not expected to begin until next year, when a jury will decide his guilt or innocence.

THE DOG: It's like the words "Criminal Justice System" when in fact if we started at "Zero" it would have been just as easy to use the worlds "Criminal Law System" because there is no justice in the Criminal Law System, correct me if I'm wrong!
Better to be innocent from the start I reckon! The media has decided his guilt because it's in the corporate interest to save face in relation to prevent any subsequent losses to the tourist dollars $$$$$ that flow into Australia every year.
That is how much an Australian is worth today! TRIAL BY MEDIA.....
Australia to see the light on tourism
And the Australian ruling class will lock up and frame-up, for 'life', anyone for a crime against any 'backpacker or holiday maker from overseas' no matter whether they were 'guilty or not' and no matter whether they 'found any dead bodies' or whether they found any 'weapon that killed a tourist' and even if there is only 'flawed circumstantial evidence' and 'trial by media' to prove their case. The inbound and domestic tourism industry contributes $70 billion to the economy and employs 500,000.

Tourist dollar drives set-up for crime
The man alleged to have murdered English tourist Peter Falconio has been acquitted of rape and abduction charges in the South Australian District Court. Bradley John Murdoch, 45, was charged with two counts of rape, two counts of false imprisonment and two counts of indecent assault after an alleged incident in South Australia's Riverland in August last year.
Innocent until proven guilty? Not in Australia's outback!
There is no way that Bradley John Murdoch can get a fair trial in the Northern Territory. The entire jury pool is already contaminated, the general public have accepted the verdict of the Northern Territory News and the NT Police State has turned on the cone of silence. Maybe some of the reporters might want to ask Director of Public Prosecutions Rex Wilde QC just how he is going to secure a conviction when a body has not been found. Surely the NT bureaucracy learnt from the Lindy Chamberlain case that it is not a good idea to jail someone for murder when you haven't got a body. Maybe they have the same people working on the case. The NT Police forensic team certainly do.
Taken "A Dingo Took My Baby!"
They were the words that Lindy Chamberlain had screamed out into the blackness of the cold night in a camping ground close to Ayers Rock, Central Australia, on the night of August 17, when she discovered that her nearly ten-week-old baby, Azaria had been taken by a dingo.
Man Says He Shot Dingo That Snatched Baby SYDNEY, Australia (July 5) - A distraught mother's scream 24 years ago that a dingo snatched her baby from a camp site near Ayers Rock in the Australian Outback ignited one of Australia's most enduring mysteries. An elderly man's claim that he retrieved the infant's bloodied body from the jaws of the wild dog has revived the case and - if true - could finally lead to the discovery of Azaria Chamberlain's body.
