UPDATED | Henry Keogh has clashed with politicians in an intense exchange as he today faced parliamentary scrutiny over his $2.57 million taxpayer-funded payout.
UPDATED | The wife of Henry Keogh has slammed “political point-scoring” over his taxpayer-funded $2.57 million payout, as South Australia’s police commissioner today told a parliamentary inquiry it would be an “understatement” to describe him as a person of interest in the case of his fiancé Anna Jane Cheney’s death.
The Marshall Government will pay Henry Keogh $2.5 million after he spent 20 years in jail for the murder of his fiancee – before the conviction was quashed.
In December 2014, Henry Keogh walked out of jail for the first time in 20 years. A year later, the case against him for the 1994 murder of his fiancée, Anna-Jane Cheney, was dropped. As Keogh prepares to break his silence, journalist Graham Archer reflects on how his long search for the truth became a battle with the justice system.
