R v Morgan

Said Morgan - R v Morgan - non-conviction for murder

Said Morgan was a detective in the New South Wales police force, and he had become aware of allegations that his brother-in-law, Mansour Suha, had been sexually molesting three young girls, including two of Morgan’s relatives. Morgan was accused of the shooting murder of his brother-in-law, Mansour Suha, on 26 May 1995 at a home at Oakhurst, where Mr Suha had been a temporary resident. He was not convicted for the killing, because he believed the lives of the children who had been molested were in danger.
