PUBLISHER'S NOTE: If Meaghan Vass is to be believed - her confession to Sixty Minutes to being on board the Four Winds when Bob Chappell was brutally murdered - Susan Neill-Fraser is indeed an innocent person who has been wrongfully convicted of murder and has been wrongfully languishing in prison for more than nine years. Vass makes clear that she did not see Neill Fraser on board the yacht. The link to the entire segment can be found below. Other than noting that the investigation is called on the show as "a forensic disaster" I will withhold comment for now and leave it to our readers to watch and reach their own conclusions. This is a brilliant, hugely important documentary that could well point the way to Susan Neill-Fraser's freedom and exoneration.

VIDEO: "Witness to Bob Chappell murder breaks 10 year silence," aired by 60 Minutes Australia on March 10, 2019.
GIST: (As described on the Sixty Minutes Australia website): "Meaghan Vass has lived a wretched existence. For half of her 25 years her home has been the streets, where she mixed with the wrong crowd and became addicted to heavy drugs. But as down and out as she is, Meaghan could be the most important witness in Tasmania’s most controversial murder case. Nine years ago Sue Neill-Fraser was jailed for the murder of her partner Bob Chappell on their yacht, Four Winds. She has always denied she did it, pleading that she wasn’t even on the boat when he was killed. And that’s where Meaghan Vass comes in. In a 60 MINUTES special investigation she speaks publicly for the first time and admits to being on board the Four Winds at the time of the murder. She tells Liam Bartlett she saw everything, and reveals who killed Bob Chappell and why. Sue Neill-Fraser’s freedom rests on Meaghan Vass’s evidence. But is she believable?"
