Justice in Australia

Some years back, a perplexing death took place Down Under where a mother claimed a dingo had murdered her baby. Just because a claim seems implausible does not mean the supposed event did not happen. Domestic dogs have sadly occasionally killed infants, so why would it not be possible that a wild member of the canine species could do the same? Finally, more than thirty years after the child's death, a coroner's inquest has concluded that indeed, a dingo did take the life of the nine week old. As they said more than a century back, just because one had not seen "the elephant" does not mean the massive pachyderm did not exist.
