Carly McBride murder: James Cunneen could be released on bail

Carly McBride was murdered in 2014 but her body wasn't found until 2016. Her boyfriend at the time of her disappearance, Sayle Newson, was later convicted of her murder.

A WEEK after he had his conviction for dumping the body of murdered mother Carly McBride overturned, James Anthony Cunneen has been released on bail pending a new trial sometime in 2025.

Mr Cunneen, now 32, was in 2022 found guilty of being an accessory after the fact to murder over the brutal death of Ms McBride at Muswellbrook in 2014, a jury finding he had helped dump Ms McBride's body and lied to police to protect her killer, Sayle Kenneth Newson.
