I suggest to you that you disposed of Mr James Gibson’s gear in the Galston Gorge and that you knew that area?

IM : I never disposed of nothing and I don’t really know that area.

I suggest to you that you took Deborah Everist’s property and that that’s how her sleeping bag came to be in your home?

IM : I never took nothing of hers and I don’t know nothing about her stuff at our place.

I suggest to you that you gave her backpack to your sister-in-law, Joan, knowing that the real owner of that backpack was deceased?

IM : I had no idea at that time that she owned that backpack.

Concerning the murders of Gabor Neugebauer and Anja Habschied, I suggest you killed them alone or in company?

IM : I know nothing about the deaths of them people.

And that you used, or someone with you used, both a Ruger 10/22 and the Anschutz rifle that was found in the alcove at that scene or nearby?

IM : I don’t know nothing about what you are talking about.

And the Ruger that was used… was the Ruger, parts which were found in you wall cavity?

IM : I’ve no idea anything about it at all.

That you used rags for gags or blindfolds?

IM : Wrong.

In relation to the deaths of Caroline Clarke and Joanne Walters, I suggest that you killed them…?

IM : Wrong Again.

And that at that scene you, or someone with you, used the same Ruger to murder Caroline Clarke?

IM : I never did.

And that you were responsible for all of the items…from the deceased backpackers being found in the locations they were found in by the police?

IM : No.
