TONIGHT ` DEADLOCKED AND IN DANGER OF BEING DISCHARGED ` THE JURY IN THE GABLE TOSTEE MURDER TRIAL TELLS THE JUDGE THEY CAN'T REACH A VERDICT. TURNING THE SCREW ON THE TAXPAYER ` HOW MUCH YOU'LL BE PAYING FOR NEARLY 2000 NEW PRISON BEDS. PLUS ` A CNN CORRESPONDENT COMES UNDER FIRE DURING THE OFFENSIVE ON ISIS IN MOSUL. DUE TO THE LIVE NATURE OF TONIGHT, WE APOLOGISE FOR THE LACK OF CAPTIONS FOR SOME ITEMS. FIRST TONIGHT ` THE COMPELLING GABLE TOSTEE MURDER TRIAL IS PROVING TOUGH TO CALL. THE JURY'S STRUGGLING TO REACH A VERDICT, THE JUDGE GIVING THEM A CLEAR INSTRUCTION AS THEY PREPARE FOR A THIRD DAY OF DELIBERATIONS. AUSTRALIA CORRESPONDENT RUTH WYNN-WILLIAMS IS COVERING THE TRIAL IN BRISBANE. THE JURY WAS SENT BACK INTO THE DELIBERATION ROOM THIS AFTERNOON AFTER INDICATING IT COULDN'T REACH A VERDICT. THE JUDGE TOLD THE PANEL OF SIX MEN AND SIX WOMEN THAT WITH MORE TIME, MOST JURIES WOULD BE ABLE TO COME TO A DECISION, AND HE INSTRUCTED THEM TO CONTINUE. IT WAS THE THIRD TIME WE HEARD FROM THE JURY TODAY. THE DAY BEGAN WITH INSTRUCTION OVER FOUR QUESTIONS, AND THERE WERE TWO MORE THIS AFTERNOON. IN HIS ANSWERS TO THE JURY, THE JUDGE REMINDED THEM NOT TO FACTOR GABLE TOSTEE'S ACTIONS FOLLOWING WARRIENA WRIGHT'S DEATH INTO THEIR DECISION-MAKING, AND HE GAVE THEM SOME INSTRUCTION OVER THE LEGALITY SURROUNDING THE ACT OF REMOVING A DISORDERLY PERSON FROM YOUR HOME. GABLE TOSTEE SAYS HE PUT MS WRIGHT ON THE BALCONY OF HIS HOME TO PROTECT HIMSELF AND HIS PROPERTY. THE JURY WILL CONTINUE ITS DECISION-MAKING IN THE MORNING. IN BREAKING NEWS, DAN CARTER SAYS HE'S BEEN CLEARED OF ANY WRONG-DOING OVER ALLEGED DOPING OFFENCES. THE FORMER ALL BLACK CONFIRMING ON HIS INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT TONIGHT HE RECEIVED A RULING FROM THE FRENCH RUGBY FEDERATION THAT HE HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG. CARTER, ALONG WITH JOE ROKOCOKO, TESTED POSTIVE FOR CORTICO-STEROIDS IN JUNE BUT HAD THERAPEUTIC USE EXEMPTIONS. HE SAYS THE WHOLE EPISODE HAS BEEN DISAPPOINTING AND FRUSTRATING BUT THAT HE SUPPORTS THE AUTHORITIES WORKING TO ENSURE THE GAME IS PLAYED FAIRLY. POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING THE DEATH OF A MAN AFTER HE WAS DROPPED OFF AT THE WHANGAREI AMBULANCE STATION THIS MORNING. A NUMBER OF PEOPLE, INCLUDING GANG MEMBERS, GATHERED AT THE CORDON, SOME CONSOLING EACH OTHER. THE 37-YEAR-OLD WAS ALIVE BUT IN A CRITICAL CONDITION WHEN HE ARRIVED. THE AMBULANCE STATION CONTINUED OPERATING DESPITE BEING THE SCENE OF A HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION. A SILVER MERCEDES CAR WAS INSIDE THE POLICE CORDON. OFFICERS ARE NOW CARRYING OUT SCENE EXAMINATIONS AT TWO OTHER ADDRESSES OF INTEREST IN WHANGAREI AND NORTH OF THE CITY. POLICE ARE ASKING FOR ANYONE WHO MAY'VE SEEN A GROUP OF MEN GATHERED IN THE WHANGAREI OR KAMO AREAS EARLY THIS MORNING TO CONTACT THEM. $1B OVER FIVE YEARS ` THE COST OF PROVIDING 1800 NEW BEDS FOR OUR EXPLODING PRISON POPULATION. MOST OF THEM, 1500, WOULD BE ON A NEW PROPOSED FACILITY AT WAIKERIA PRISON IN WAIKATO. A NEW BLOCK AT MT EDEN WOULD HOUSE AN ADDITIONAL 245 INMATES. AND DOUBLE-BUNKING WILL PROVIDE 341 SPACES, INCLUDING 80 EXTRA BEDS AT NGAWHA PRISON, NORTHLAND. TO HANDLE THE EXPANSION, 700 MORE PRISON STAFF WILL BE RECRUITED. THAT'S AFTER CORRECTIONS SLASHED MORE THAN 200 JOBS LAST YEAR. DESPITE ALL THIS, THE CORRECTIONS MINISTER INSISTS SHE HASN'T DROPPED THE BALL ON PRISON PLANNING. HERE'S POLITICAL REPORTER KATIE BRADFORD. LOCKING UP MORE PEOPLE IS EXPENSIVE. SO THE MESSAGE IS THERE. DON'T THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GET A GET-OUT-OF-JAIL-FREE CARD BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH BEDS, BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH BEDS. AT LEAST THE MINISTER HOPES THEY WILL WHEN $1B HAS BEEN SPENT BUILDING SPACE FOR 1800 MORE BEDS. THREE YEARS AGO, TWO YEARS AGO, WE PROBABLY THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE AVOIDABLE. IT'S TURNED OUT THAT IT ISN'T. YOU SEE, A FEW YEARS AGO, THE GOVERNMENT PREDICTED PRISON POPULATIONS WOULD FALL, AND IT MOTHBALLED SOME FACILITIES. SO WHY'S IT NOW EXPANDING PRISON CAPACITY? INCREASE IN PRISONER NUMBERS IS ALMOST ENTIRELY REMAND PRISONERS. THE NUMBER OF SENTENCED PRISONERS IS ACTUALLY FALLING. THE CORRECTIONS MINISTER'S MAKING NO APOLOGIES. WE HAVE TOUGHENED UP THE BAIL LAWS SO THAT PEOPLE NO LONGER GET BAIL WHEN THEY ARE METHAMPHETAMINE COOKS OR WHEN THEY'RE FAMILY VIOLENCE OFFENDERS. IT'S NOT A SUCCESS FOR ANY COUNTRY TO CLAIM, 'GEE, WE'VE GOT 'MORE PRISONERS. WE NEED MORE PRISONS.' THAT'S ACTUALLY A FAILURE. WHILE THE CORRECTIONS MINISTER SAYS IT'LL COST $1B TO BUILD THOSE EXTRA BEDS, THE FINANCE MINISTER'S ADDED ANOTHER $1.5B TO RUN THE CAPACITY. AND THAT'S LIKELY TO CURB SPENDING IN OTHER AREAS. IT'S THOUGHT AROUND 700 MORE PRISON STAFF WILL BE NEEDED, EVEN THOUGH ABOUT 200 LOST THEIR JOBS IN THE LAST YEAR. AND THERE'S ANOTHER PROBLEM FOR CORRECTIONS ` REOFFENDING. THE GOVERNMENT'S TARGET IS TO SEE RE-OFFENDING REDUCED BY 25% BY NEXT YEAR. CURRENTLY, CORRECTIONS HAS ONLY REDUCED IT BY 7%. WE'RE THE FIRST GOVERNMENT WHO'S EVER SET TARGETS. PRISON REFORMERS SAY JAILS NEED A DIFFERENT EMPHASIS. AND PARTICULARLY ON LITERACY. HALF OF OUR PRISONERS CAN'T READ AND WRITE, AND THAT MEANS THEY GO OUT AND OFFEND. ALL ADDING UP TO A HEFTY BILL FOR KIWI TAXPAYERS. KATIE BRADFORD, 1 NEWS. WE'VE FOOTAGE NOW OF A MAN STEALING A POLICE CAR AFTER BEING ARRESTED IN HAMILTON YESTERDAY. THE VIDEO, POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SHOWS THE OFFENDER SPEEDING AWAY, LEAVING THE OFFICER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE POLICEMAN THEN HOPPED INTO THE CAR HE ORIGINALLY STOPPED TO GIVE CHASE. WITNESSES SAY THEY SAW THE MAN LEAP FROM THE BACK SEAT OF THE POLICE CAR INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE CAR WAS FOUND A SHORT TIME LATER, BUT POLICE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR THE CULPRIT. IRAQI FORCES BACKED BY US-LED AIRSTRIKES ARE MAKING STEADY GAINS IN THEIR ADVANCE ON THE ISIS STRONGHOLD OF MOSUL, BUT THE ENTRENCHED MILITANTS ARE FIGHTING FIERCELY. THIS SUICIDE CAR-BOMB ATTACK ON IRAQI TANKS IS ONE OF MANY AS THE DECISIVE BATTLE ENTERS ITS SECOND DAY. THE CITY IS WHERE ISIS DECLARED ITSELF A NEW STATE TWO YEARS AGO. LOSING IT WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT BLOW. CNN'S NICK PATON WALSH IS ON THE GROUND JUST OUTSIDE MOSUL AND WAS CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE. A WARNING ` HIS REPORT CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES. THEY'D BEEN WAITING YEARS TO FINALLY PUSH THROUGH THE LINES AND TAKE ON ISIS' BRUTALITY, AND WHEN THE DAY CAME, IT WAS STILL A DUSTY, SLOW GRIND. PESHMERGA INTO THE DESERT TO FLANK A MAIN ROAD TO MOSUL DISTINCTIVE AMERICAN VEHICLES WITH WESTERN OCCUPANTS IN THEIR CONVOY. AIRSTRIKES OFTEN HIT THE PLACES THEY WERE HEADED TO FIRST. HOPES ISIS MIGHT NOT FIGHT FOR THE TINY SETTLEMENTS AROUND MOSUL WERE QUICKLY DASHED. METAL CLANKS THIS IS THE FIRST VILLAGE THEY CAME ACROSS AS THEY MOVE DOWN THE ROAD TOWARDS MOSUL, AND THEY'RE ENCOUNTERING PRETTY HEAVY RESISTANCE, RETURNING FIRE WITH WHAT THEY HAVE. WHICH ARE OFTEN BLUNT AND OLD. MAN YELLS, GUNSHOT GUNFIRE THEY WANT THIS OVER FAST. SUDDENLY, THERE'S PANIC. THEY SPOT A CAR, A SUICIDE CAR BOMB RACING TOWARDS THEM. IT'S ISIS. ONE, TWO ROCKETS TRY TO HIT IT. GUNFIRE THE THIRD IS LUCKY. THEY PUSH ON TOWARDS THE MAIN PRIZE, THE ROAD ITSELF TO MOSUL, FLAGGED BY OIL FIRES LIT BY ISIS AND AIRSTRIKES, PILING IN REGARDLESS. SHELLS STILL LANDED NEAR THE PESHMERGA. A CASUALTY WAS TAKEN AWAY. DOWN ON THE MAIN OBJECTIVE, THE ROAD ITSELF, ISIS SENT TWO CAR BOMBS AT THEM AND ATTACKED FROM BOTH SIDES. THE IRAQI TOO AT SOME POINT WILL HAVE TO PUSH DOWN HERE TOWARDS MOSUL, BUT THIS HAS BEEN AN EFFORT WITH MUCH INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT, A LOT OF COALITION PLANNING, AMERICAN AIR POWER` GUNFIRE GUNFIRE CONTINUES SHUT THE DOORS. GUNFIRE CONTINUES, INDISTINCT CHATTER GUNFIRE CONTINUES GUNFIRE CONTINUES STAY IN THE CAR NOW! ISIS STILL EVERYWHERE, EVEN IN THE HILLS. THEY GIVE CHASE TO ONE MAN, AN ISIS FIGHTER. HE SHOOTS A PESHMERGA. HUMVEES RESCUE HIM, AND THEY HUNT ON. AN ISIS FIGHTER POPS UP FROM A TUNNEL, SHOOTS. HE BLOWS HIMSELF UP ` A TENACITY AND DESIRE TO DIE THAT WILL SURELY SLOW AND BLOODY THE FIGHT AHEAD. AND OUR GOVERNMENT'S GIVING $1M TO HELP FUND THE HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE IN MOSUL. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CIVILIANS ARE EXPECTED TO FLEE THE FIGHTING. NEW FIGURES OUT TODAY REVEAL SUICIDE IN NZ HAS REACHED RECORD LEVELS. IN THE PAST YEAR, 579 PEOPLE TOOK THEIR OWN LIVES ` 15 MORE THAN THE YEAR BEFORE. EXPERTS SAY MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ARE OVERSTRETCHED AND HAVING A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE CONFRONTING TOPIC IS STILL CONSIDERED TABOO. THIS FALSE NOTION THAT WE DON'T WANT TO TRAUMATISE OUR KIDS WITH TALK ABOUT SUICIDE, WE DON'T WANT TO EXPOSE THEM TO SUICIDE, IS A MYTH. OUR KIDS ALREADY KNOW ABOUT SUICIDE. IT'S THEIR FRIENDS WHO ARE DOING IT. MIKE KING DOESN'T BELIEVE THE WORRYING NUMBERS WILL TRIGGER CHANGE. THE GOVERNMENT SAYS IT'S INVESTED AROUND 300 MILLION INTO THE MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM. SO FAR, SO GOOD, SAY HOSPITALS ON DAY ONE OF A 48-HOUR STRIKE BY THOUSANDS OF JUNIOR DOCTORS. THOSE DRAFTED IN TO COVER SAY THEY'RE COPING WELL AND PRIMED FOR A POTENTIALLY BUSY NIGHT AHEAD. HERE'S OUR HEALTH REPORTER, LORELEI MASON. RIGHT, IS THAT IN A GOOD SPOT? THEY GATHERED EARLY OUTSIDE CHRISTCHURCH HOSPITAL. HORNS HONK THANK YOU! A SHOW OF SOLIDARITY FROM STRIKING JUNIOR DOCTORS, SOME HAVING ONLY JUST WALKED OFF THE JOB. WE WERE MET AT 6.30 BY ABOUT 10 OR 15 DIFFERENT CONSULTANTS THAT HAD COME IN TO TAKE OVER AND COVER FOR US WHILE WE'RE GETTING ON WITH TODAY'S ACTION. SENIOR COLLEAGUES SEEMINGLY HAPPY HOLDING THE FORT. THEY WERE QUITE LOOKING FORWARD TO JUST RELIVING THEIR YOUTH AND GETTING BACK TO DOING DAY-TO-DAY WORK. IN AUCKLAND, OTHERS CHOSE TO BE COMMUNITY-MINDED. WORKING IN THE HOSPITAL WE'VE GOT FINITE RESOURCES, ONE OF THEM BEING BLOOD, SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING TO COME AND GIVE BLOOD TODAY. INSIDE THE HOSPITAL, DOCTORS SAY IT'S SO FAR, SO GOOD. I'VE BEEN ROUND AND TALKED TO A GOOD NUMBER OF PEOPLE, AND EVERYTHING'S QUITE CALM AND RUNNING WELL. PATIENTS REPORT THINGS ARE HUMMING ON THE WARDS. THEY TAKE MY OBS EVERY TWO HOURS. I THINK THEY'VE TAKEN THEM TWICE TODAY, WHICH IS COS THEY'RE SO BUSY MOVING PEOPLE AROUND. WHILE COMMUNITY AFTER-HOURS CLINICS, LIKE PEGASUS IN CHRISTCHURCH, ARE STEADY. WE'VE SEEN SOME SICK KIDDIES WITH ASTHMA. WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF MINOR FRACTURES. WE'VE HAD TO DO SOME PLASTERS OF PARIS. BUT BOTH SIDES OF THIS STRIKE ARE LOOK MILES APART. THE JUNIOR DOCTORS UNION STILL DETERMINED TO GET 12-DAY SHIFTS DOWN TO 10 AND SEVEN NIGHTS DOWN TO FOUR. THE DHB'S STILL SAYING NO. WE WANT CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS TO MAKE SURE THESE HOURS ARE FIXED AND FIXED PERMANENTLY. WE'VE HEARD WHAT THEY'VE SAID, BUT WE DO NOT BELIEVE IT'S RIGHT TO PAY FOR THOSE EXTRA DAYS OFF. THERE'S DISMAY TOO AT THE UNION ALREADY INDICATING A SECOND POSSIBLE STRIKE. I THINK IT'S ATROCIOUS, ACTUALLY. YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH DOES THAT INDICATE THAT YOU WANT TO SETTLE THIS WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOUR NEXT BIT OF ACTION? BUT AS THE FIRST STRIKE NIGHT LOOMS,... WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF EXTRA DOCTORS ON, AND WE'VE GOT SOME STANDING-BY CAPACITY IF WE NEED IT. ...MEDICS SAY THEY'RE AS READY AS THEY CAN BE FOR WHATEVER TURNS UP. LORELEI MASON, 1 NEWS. JUST AHEAD ` STANDING UP FOR THE DONALD SHE KNOWS. MELANIA TRUMP BREAKS HER SILENCE AND GETS STUCK INTO THE WOMEN ACCUSING HIM OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. EMOTIONAL TRIBUTES FOR A MUCH-LOVED SYDNEY FAMILY. WHY THE FOUR DEATHS ARE BEING INVESTIGATED AS A MURDER-SUICIDE. AND DON'T PANIC. WYATT'S COOL. CHECK OUT HIS MOVES AT JUST 22 MONTHS OLD. WIND HOWLS, MEN SHOUT North Islander, huh? Yeah. How can ya tell? No reason. CROWD CHEERS, WHISTLE BLOWS UPBEAT MUSIC AN ELDERLY EUTHANASIA SUPPORTER HAS DESCRIBED HOW POLICE CAME TO HER HOME IN NELSON AND SEIZED POTENTIALLY LIFE-ENDING EQUIPMENT. A RIGHT-TO-DIE ACTIVIST WAS ALSO TARGETED IN WELLINGTON. WITH POLITICIANS DISCUSSING THE ISSUE IN PARLIAMENT, CAMPAIGNERS ARE QUESTIONING THE TIMING OF THE CRACKDOWN. EMILY COOPER HAS MORE. PATSY MCGRATH SAYS SHE'S BEEN LEFT CONFUSED AFTER POLICE CAME TO HER HOUSE EARLIER THIS MONTH AND TOOK A HELIUM CANISTER. THEY CAME SHOWING ME A SEARCH WARRANT. FOR FIVE DECADES PATSY'S BEEN VOCAL IN HER SUPPORT FOR THE RIGHT OF PEOPLE TO END THEIR OWN LIVES, AND SHE BELIEVES THAT'S WHY SHE WAS TARGETED. AND WAS PRESUMED I'D USE IT FOR VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA IF I SHOULD NEED TO. A WELLINGTON RIGHT-TO-DIE CAMPAIGNER WAS ARRESTED IN A SEPARATE OPERATION, AND PASTY SAYS SHE WAS TOLD POLICE WERE INVESTIGATING THOSE AIDING AND ABETTING VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA. THIS IS AN USUAL THING IN NZ FOR POLICE TO DO. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE POLICE ARE HAVING THEIR STRINGS PULLED BY PEOPLE WITH A DIFFERENT POLITICAL AGENDA. I'D SAY TO MARYAN STREET THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE A LOT OF CONSPIRACY THEORIES, NORMALLY THEY'RE NOT TRUE. MARYANN STREET'S RIGHT-TO-DIE PETITION IS CURRENTLY BEING CONSIDERED BY PARLIAMENT'S HEALTH SELECT COMMITTEE, AND SHE'S CONCERNED THE POLICE RAIDS MAY NOW DISCOURAGE SUPPORTERS FROM APPEARING IN PERSON. HOWEVER CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE, SIMON O'CONNOR, DOESN'T BELIEVE SUBMITTERS WILL BE INTIMIDATED. POLICE HAVE CONFIRMED A LOWER HUTT WOMAN WAS ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH IMPORTING A CLASS-C DRUG, BUT SAID THEY HAVE BROADER RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE CORONER, SO WON'T COMMENT FURTHER. PATSY SAYS SHE'LL KEEP FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHT TO DIE. MY BODY, MY CHOICE. AND SHE DOESN'T EXPECT AN APOLOGY FROM POLICE. EMILY COOPER, ONE NEWS. MELANIA TRUMP HAS SPOKEN OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME ABOUT CLAIMS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT LEVELLED AT HER HUSBAND. SHE ALSO CLAIMS THE DONALD WAS TRICKED INTO MAKING LEWD COMMENTS ABOUT WOMEN ON AN AUDIO RECORDING. THIS FROM CHANNEL NINE'S LAURA TURNER. FROM THE MOMENT DONALD TRUMP ANNOUNCED HIS RUN FOR PRESIDENT, HIS WIFE, MELANIA, HAS BEEN HIS UBER FASHIONABLE BUT HIGHLY PRIVATE ALLY. WELL, NOW SHE'S VERY PUBLICLY STANDING BY HER MAN. I BELIEVE MY HUSBAND. I BELIEVE MY HUSBAND. THIS WAS ALL ORGANISED FROM THE OPPOSITION. WITH THE DETAILS THAT THEY GOT, DID THEY EVER CHECK THE BACKGROUND OF THESE WOMEN? THEY DON'T HAVE ANY FACTS. HIS BIGGEST POLL LOSSES HAVE COME EVER SINCE THIS SCANDAL BROKE. SO IN AN EXCLUSIVE SIT-DOWN WITH CNN'S ANDERSON COOPER, MELANIA TRUMP TRIED TO RIDE THE REPUBLICAN SHIP BY SAYING HER HUSBAND, WHO WAS 59 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME, WAS BEING EGGED ON. I WONDER IF THEY EVEN KNEW THAT THE MIC WAS ON, BECAUSE THEY WERE KIND OF A BOY TALK, AND HE WAS LEAD ON, LIKE EGG ON, FROM THE HOST TO SAY DIRTY AND BAD STUFF. YOU FEEL THE HOST, BILLY BUSH, WAS SORT OF EGGING HIM ON. YES. MELANIA HAS STRUGGLED WITH THE CAMPAIGN SPOTLIGHT. OLD MODELLING PHOTOS OF HER HAVE SURFACED, AND, OF COURSE, THERE WAS THIS SCANDAL. THAT YOUR WORD IS YOUR BOND, THAT YOU DO WHAT YOU SAY YOU'RE GONNA DO. THAT YOUR WORD IS YOUR BOND AND YOU DO WHAT YOU SAY.

SHE JUST TOOK ON SO MUCH AND JUST KEPT GOING AND FOUGHT THE FIGHT FOR EVERYONE. THE PRINCIPAL SAYS MS LUTZ WAS ALWAYS POSITIVE. THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE PERSON. THIS IS SOMEONE VERY VERY STRONG, VERY VERY CLEVER. A REALLY DYNAMIC PERSON. POLICE HAVE CONFIRMED MS LUTZ, MARTIN AND ELISA WERE KILLED BY GAS POISONING, ALONG WITH FATHER AND HUSBAND FERNANDO MANRIQUE. FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS CAME TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS. MY HEART JUST GOES OUT TO THE FAMILY TO MAKE THAT FINAL DECISION TO TAKE THEM ALL. IF YOU'RE FEELING LIKE THAT, JUST GET HELP. YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL HERE, ESPECIALLY IN A COMMUNITY LIKE THIS. THE DEATHS HAVE ALSO HIT SYDNEY'S COLOMBIAN COMMUNITY HARD. ALEJANDRO OSORIO HAD NEVER MET THE FAMILY. JUST TO BRING THE RESPECT, TO GIVE THE RESPECT TO DEAD, YOU KNOW. BECAUSE IT'S SOMEONE FROM MY COUNTRY. DETECTIVES FOUND GAS BOTTLES INSIDE THE HOUSE AND RECOVERED A NUMBER OF ITEMS FROM THE GARAGE AND BINS.
