When questioned by counsel assisting the coroner, Joseph Crawfoot, whether he had anything to do with Mr Penno-Tompsett's disappearance, Mr Tattersall replied, "No". "We knew they [Penno-Tompsett and Tattersall] had a fight and that Lucas left him there," Mr Wakefield said.He told the court Mr Tattersall had shown up in Cairns with far fewer drugs than the group was expecting, and that he believed his missing friend was in possession of the other drugs.
