Description:

On January 29, 2019, 3-year-old Gore toddler Lachie Jones was found dead in an oxidation pond, a little over a kilometre away from his mother’s home.

Two police investigations concluded Lachie drowned, but his father, Paul Jones, does not accept these findings, and believes he was murdered.

Ahead of the second phase of a coronial inquest into Lachie’s death, his mother, Michelle Officer, has spoken for the first time to the Herald’s Ben Tomsett about her side of the story.

Today on The Front Page, Ben Tomsett joins us to digest that interview, and how this case has evolved.
