Shortcut: What happened to 3-year-old Lachie Jones? - ATC International

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

In 2019, three-year-old New Zealand boy Lachie Jones was found dead in an oxygenation pond near his home, with police ruling it an accidental drowning.

His father, unconvinced by the official finding, sought the help of investigative journalists Melanie Reid and Bonnie Sumner, hosts of Delve: The Boy in the Water.

In this bonus international episode of Australian True Crime, they share insights from the long-awaited inquest inside the Coroners Court.
