Australian police renew appeal to find body

    Australian police have issued a fresh appeal for help to find the remains of Peter Falconio, the British backpacker murdered in the outback 20 years ago.

    The 28-year-old was shot dead when he and his girlfriend Joanne Lees were ambushed near Alice Springs in 2001. His body was never found.

    Australian man Bradley Murdoch was found guilty of his murder in 2005.

    Despite pleas, he has refused to tell authorities where he disposed of Mr Falconio's body.
