Rick Thorburn is escorted by police from a police station in Brisbane in September 2016 after Tiahleigh Palmer's death. At the time, the Supreme Court heard he had murdered Tiahleigh after he discovered one of his son's had sex with her and they feared she was pregnant.During a pre-inquest hearing in Brisbane on Tuesday, counsel assisting the coroner Kate McMahon told the court Thorburn had "concocted a story" about what had happened to her.

This girl was let down by the entire Qld child protection bureaucratic behemoth of a system that was & is still intrinsically deeply flawed. My heart breaks at her final moments & what her adopted family did 2 her. She just wanted 2 be loved nd 2 b safe. Was that 2 hard 2 ask 4?
Isn't it about time more killers and abusers were forced to own up and tell whole story
