Mark Haines’ best friend fronts inquest in Tamworth

A warning to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander viewers, this next story contains the name and image of someone who has died.

Three witnesses have painted three very different pictures of what they believe happened to Mark Haines in 1988.

A former boxer, Mark’s best friend and a family associate appeared, as a week-long inquest into the 17-year old’s death draws to a close.
