A forensic expert will arrive in Newcastle next week to
reconstruct the skeleton of murdered carpenter Christopher Daunt.
An autopsy will follow the reconstruction in an effort to
determine the cause of death.
Police have alleged Daunt was bashed to death by Christopher
John Robertson in March 29 last year.
It is alleged the attack happened at Robertson’s New Lambton
home.
Robertson was arrested last week before detectives
discovered the remains of Daunt at Seahampton.
Strike Force Retractor was established to assist in
uncovering the body of Daunt and piecing together the final hours before his
death.
Police have continued the search for Daunt’s possessions,
with the investigation leading them to bushland near Cameron Park. However, they failed to find anything.
Daunt and Robertson had been close friends, with allegations
that the two were also involved in the local drug trade.
