Carly McBride murder: man who allegedly helped killer will face lengthy re-trial

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 MAN accused of helping dump the body of murdered mother Carly McBride and lying to police to protect her killer will face a third trial in 2025, more than a decade after the 31-year-old disappeared.

James Anthony 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 knew what happened to the "missing" mother and helped her killer, Sayle Kenneth Newson, cover up the crime by disposing of her body and creating a false alibi.
