State appeals Jeremy Sias' acquittal in showjumper's 2019 murder case

- KIM SWARTZ

THE State is seeking to overturn the acquittal of Jeremy Sias for the murder of showjumper Meghan Cremer.

Prosecutors are honing in on the testimony of defence witness Linda Mohr, who state advocate Susan Galloway described as having provided overly "hostile" evidence.

Cremer, who had been reported missing on 3 August 2019, was discovered dead five days later in Philippi, having been strangled with a rope.

During the murder trial, the State argued that Sias broke into Cremer's cottage, killed her and stuffed her body in the boot of her car before getting rid of the body.
