THE two thugs who tipped an Esky full of fish guts and urine on a sleeping homeless man look set to get away with it. Eighteen months after they were captured on security camera the case has gone cold. Police have a suspect – but the poor quality of the security footage has made it difficult for them to mount a case to charge him. Not even a forensic specialist enlisted from interstate has been able to make a conclusive match between the footage and photographs of the suspect. The scientist says one of the suspects has altered his appearance since the incident, making it difficult to make a conclusive match. And unless someone comes forward to dob them in – and police are sure someone is protecting them – they may never face court.
The reward for information is still up for grabs.
Anyone who can reveal Reg's callous attackers is urged to contact Townsville CIB or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
