Img091 to 096 (below) - Report of James M Green, G E Engineering, 120 Kalmia Drive, Ashville, Norh Carolina, United States

Resource Engineering was the former name. Note that James M Green does not refer to the vehicle's brake mark on the road to give the estimated speed of the vehicle at 40 to 50 kilometers per hour at the time of impact using forensic science - please refer to Img044, 048, 049 & 050. (Note: for greater clarity of text images click the "enlargement tool".)

James M Green looks at the bicycle's "frame" to estimate the speed of the utility at the time of it hitting the Andrew. James M Green ignored the police photographic evidence and my evidence that I was told by the police that Andrew had fallen into the back tray of the utility. James M Green refers to a "tear shaped" pattern of debris? As far as I am concerned, James M Green produced a flawed report deliberately.

Img097 to Img112 - Constable Samantha Johnson's Coronial Report

At the adjourned hearing into Andrew's death on 13 October 1997 Constable Samantha Johnson giggle a lot. Her behaviour was rather odd and unwarranted. Constable Samantha Johnson did not produce a police note book, despite my requests for same. Constable Samantha Johnson did not identify the point of impact of collision between Andrew and the vehicle on any of her diagrams. She did not depict the path of travel of Andrew and the vehicle prior and after the point of impact (collision)

1st page Coronial Report

Img098 - Second Page Coronial Report

The speed limit prior to the intersection and through the intersection is 60 kilometers per hour. Constable Samantha Johnson wrote 80 kilometers per hour so that this speed limit would fit in with her fabricated straight line throw theory of Andrew after he was hit by the vehicle in the middle of the intersection with the vehicle which was supposed to be going at 80 kilometers per hour

Constable Samantha Johnson's description of the collision does not make sense. Constable Samantha Johnson says that witness Fiore Zulli said that he did not see the collision, but he saw my son fly forward after the hit. The question to ask is - "How did he know it was a hit if he did not see the hit?"

Constable Samantha Johnson, Constable Ben Dyball, Sergeant John Ruller, Fiore Zulli are trying to make out that my son was a human cannonball and that he flew through the air at a distance of 45 metres. Read about a human cannonball whose average distance is 43 metres and this one soars approximately 21 metres high - by clicking here. That is they are trying to make out that Andrew came out of a T intersection, hit the left passenger door and then his body changed directions from a northerly line of travel to a westwards line of travel of 45 metres, with Zulli stating that he saw him soaring 5 to 15 metres high. You will note from the photographs of Andrew after the accident that his head is still intact, and that there is no damage on the bicycle helmet.

Andrew was at my sister’s place (i.e. Margaret Samootin's) for a week prior to when the accident had occurred.  Otherwise he lived with me in Sydney. Alexander Kirk is my nephew, i.e. Margaret Samootin's son. There were no stop signs on this main complicated route from Margaret Samootins’ home to Manly.  Andrew did not know the area. Alexander Kirk had no money for a telephone call.  Every time I queried him about his statement, the story changed.  The accident occurred on the unmarked cycling route that Alexander Kirk regularly used in the evenings after he returned home from work.

I was told that Constable Samantha Johnson prepared the statements and then sent them out to various parties to sign and return to her.

Img110 - Fourteenth Page of Coronial Report - Alexander Kirk's police statement

Andrew was at my sister's place for a week before the accident occurred. Andrew did not live with my sister. It was an emergency stop. Andrew had visited his friend at Byron Bay arriving there on Christmas Day 1993. He had planned to return as soon as possible after New Year's Eve 1994. Andrew could not return home as we had bush fires surrounding Sydney. He could not stay at Byron Bay, as his friend's relatives had descended onto the holiday home. As an emergency measure, Andrew travelled north to my sister's place at Manly, near Brisbane, in Queensland. Andrew was an experienced cyclist.

Please refer to Img113, 114 & 115 wherein in this sworn affidavit, my nephew, Alexander Kirk states that he was cycling with Andrew when the accident occurred.  Alexander Kirk regularly took the unmarked cycling route to the Port of Brisbane via the intersection at Lytton after he returned home from work

Img116 - Query letter to Police Headquarters Communications Department

There are no chain of custody records of Andrew being taken directly from the accident site to the morgue.  There was no communications from the police at the accident site to the Police Headquarters Communications Centre for a call out for a morgue vehicle to go to the accident site.  Hereunder is the letter that I had sent to the Police Communications Centre, Brisbane, Queensland, with a query as to why there were no records of Andrew being transported directly from the accident site to the morgue.  In this letter I had used my former married name.  I had been told by the police at the accident site that Andrew was transported directly from the accident site to the morgue.  But evidence shows that this was not the case.  Andrew had been taken to a destination still unknown to me

query letter no record of Andrew being taken to the morgue on police computer print-outs

Imt117 - Police Communications Department letter of reply

Police Communications letter of reply stated that it is the responsibility of the ambulance for the transportation of the persons involved.  There is a strong possibility that Andrew was taken to the local hospital and stabilized and from that hospital transported to the morgue

reply letter

Img118 to 122 - Andrew arrived at morgue four hours after the accident

The police claimed that my son was transported directly to the morgue from the accident site, but records show that my son arrived at the morgue at 22.50 hours (10.50pm).  Andrew was taken away from the accident site to a destination still unknown to me and from that unknown destination he was taken to the morgue alive.  The ambulance officers left the accident site at 7.35pm.  Please refer to the call out card for the ambulance for Andrew’s accident

Img122 - Letter from Dept of Health confirming that Andrew arrived at the morgue at 10.50pm

When one looks at the police photographs of the accident site, one will note that Andrew is not there. So where was Andrew from the time he was removed from the accident site to the time he arrived at the morgue and what was the means of transport?

Department of Health verifying that Andrew arrived at morgue at 10.50pm

Img123 - No record of Andrew being transported directly to the morgue from the accident site

There was no claim form (invoice) submitted by Newhaven Funerals to Department of Justice for the transportation of my son from the accident site to the morgue.  Had my son been transported by Newhaven Funerals then Newhaven Funerals would have submitted a claim form (invoice) to the Department of Justice.  As can be seen by the Queensland Police Service form “Inventory of Property Taken Possession of by Police Officer from Body at John Tonge Centre” Constable Holly James had signed the form on the line where a person from Newhaven Funerals was supposed to sign.  In other words, both Constable Ben Dyball and Constable Holly James knew where my son had been taken after the accident, to the time he arrived at the morgue

no record of Andrew being transported to the morgue

Img124 - Queensland Police Service Form 36A

Queensland Police Service Form 36A “Inventory of Property Taken Possession of by Police Officer from Body at John Tonge Mortuary”.  You will note that the time of arrival of Andrew at the morgue is 2100 hours  (9.00pm).  Constable Dyball filled out this form.  The signatory is supposed to be “3.  The person who conveyed the body is to sign as witness.”  Constable Holly James signed the form.  The person who conveyed the body listed as “Newhaven Funerals” did not sign as signatory.  This is a fraudulent document.  Therefore, Newhaven Funerals did not transport Andrew to the Morgue. The question to ask is “How did Constable Holly James transport Andrew to the morgue?

Form 36A filled out by cop - not Newhaven Funerals

Img125 - Police Identification Statement concerning Andrew

Constable Ben Dyball photographed Andrew at the morgue at 22.50 hours (10.50pm) on 12 January 1994.  My sister, Margaret Samootin identified my son at 22.45 hours (10.45pm).  The time 22.50 hours ties in with the arrival of Andrew at the morgue referencing Img118 to 122

Police Identification Statement signed at 10.45pm, 12.1.94, 5 minutes before Andrew arrived at morgue

Img126 - Copy of police "business" card

This is a copy of the Police "business" Card that I got the day following Andrew’s accident.  On the card are the names of the police officers who attended Andrew’s accident that is Ben Dyball and Holly James.  Holly James is the police officer who signed the form in Img124 as being the person who conveyed Andrew’s body to the morgue. 

On the night of the accident, I had been told by Constable Ben Dyball that he was at the accident site within a minute of it happening.  Constable Ben Dyball said words to the effect that they did not know where Andrew went.  Dyball said words to the effect that they looked in the swamp area that surrounds the site.  Constable Ben Dyball said words to the effect that someone heard moaning from the back tray of the utility.  Constable Ben Dyball said words to the effect that Andrew had fallen onto some ladders.  Constable Ben Dyball said words to the effect that he, with others, removed Andrew from the back of the utility and placed him on the grassed area next to the utility.  Constable Ben Dyball said words to the effect that he waited with Andrew until the ambulance came. 

I have been told by a senior Wynnum Police Station police officer that if I was given that information on the night of the accident and then received the police card the day following the accident, then that event did occur. This police officer told me that Fiore Zulli’s statement that my son flew through the air for 45 meters is rather “far fetched”

Ben Dyball's and Holley James' police business card

Img127 - The police were already at the accident site when the ambulance were called

There are two call-out card attached to this letter. The call-out cards show that the police were not called to the accident site as they were already there when the ambulance 000 emergency number was called at 6.57pm. Otherwise a call from the Department of Emergency Services would have been made and noted on the ambulance call-out cards. This evidence corroborates the scenario that Constable Ben Dyball had told me on the night of the accident - that he was sitting around the corner and was at the accident site within a minute of it happening

I wrote the letter using another name and a different post office box number. I had wanted a totally "independent" report type letter

Telstra letter

Img131 -Constable Ben Dyball's field police notes of the accident site

As can be seen from the notes my sister, Margaret Samootin, was at the accident site and had identified Andrew.  Margaret Samootin had told me that when she got called by the police, she emptied Andrew’s wallet into his carry bag and took his Learner Drivers Licence with her (Img134). 

Fiore Zulli said to the police on the night of the accident that he saw the “hit”, but the story changed to whereby he stated to Constable Johnson – “I cannot recall seeing these vehicles collide but can remember seeing the bike rider fly into the air and be pushed forward”. Andrew was on a bicycle. He was not in a vehicle.

Note: There is no mention of John Phillip's details in Constable Ben Dyball's police notebook. John Phillips was the driver of the vehicle involved in the collision

As can be seen by Constable Ben Dyball’s police field notes Andrew was identified at accident site by my sister, Margaret Samootin.  Andrew’s Learner Driver’s Licence was used for identification purposes.  Margaret Samootin told me that the police had wanted a driver’s license.  Margaret took Andrew’s Learner Driver’s License with her

Img135 - Witness Scott Anthony Bryant did not own a vehicle at the time of Andrew's accident

Scott Anthony Bryant did not own any vehicles at the time of the accident.  Constable Ben Dyball wrote in his notes that Scott Anthony Bryant was following John Phillips (Img132 & 133) in a red Ford Falcon Registration No. 045CEW.  At the hearing Scot Anthony Bryant tried to make out that he was driving his own vehicle.  I got suspicious about Scot Anthony Bryant as he could not give details of the vehicle.  Scot Anthony Bryant had claimed that he had owned two vehicles at the time of the accident

Scott Anthony Bryant did not own any vehicle at time of accident

Img136 - Another person owned the car that Scott Anthony Bryant had claimed he owned

Joseph Wills owned the red Ford Falcon Registration 045CEW that was traveling behind the utility involved in the collision.  I called in on Joseph Wills at his home on 12 February 2004, at 130 Macarthy Road, Marsden. 

Joseph Wills wrote his name on the top of the letter and his telephone numbers.  Joseph Wills told me that the intersection where Andrew had the accident is a well known drag racing spot.  Joseph Wills pointed out the white mark on the road made by the drag racers as a start off point for whatever.  Joseph Wills told me that “they” won’t talk as they will get into trouble with the police for drag racing. 

I recalled that prior to going to Brisbane in April 1994 I had telephoned Constable Samantha Johnson and told her I was going to view the accident site during the Easter weekend.  Constable Samantha Johnson told me that the white marks on the road were the paint marks made by the kids who were drag racing before the accident occurred.  Constable Samantha Johnson told me that the yellow marks were the police mark

The Red Ford Falcon was owned by Joseph Wills

Img137 - An extract of the Police Communications' record

The police were already at the accident site when the ambulance were called (refer Img127).  At 19.01 hours (7.01pm) the driver of the utility, Phillips, called the police.  Information was then given to Police Communications Centre as if Constable Ben Dyball was proceeding to the accident site.  In the vicinity of the accident site, there was a Peter Owens who had worked for the Police Communications Centre, Brisbane, Queensland. A Ted Richardson came to Andrew’s funeral in Sydney.  I saw him standing at the back of the church.  I still do not know how Ted Richardson got the details of Andrew and his funeral.  At a later date my sister, Margaret Samootin, gave me his name.  Ted Richardson is the person who has been to “numerous inquests”.  I got a statement from Ted Richardson.  He said that he saw a cyclist travelling down Port Road towards the intersection just prior to learning of Andrew's accident from Peter Owens. Ted Richardson lived at 7 State Street Hemmant.  He was 43 years old at 28 August 1996.  He listed his occupation as “Pastoral Assistant”.  His wife’s name is Marcia.  I do not know who pays Ted Richardson.  He does not have any specific job

Img138 - Letter from the Queensland Police Service re translation of comunications records

I sent a letter to the Queensland Police Communications Branch seeking an explanation of the Communication records that were forwarded to me.  As can be seen by the notes, even though evidence shows that Constable Ben Dyball was at the accident site when the ambulance call was made at 6.57pm, Constable Ben Dyball then made out that he was proceeding to the accident site at 19.17 hours (7.17pm).  Constable Ben Dyball is in car W201

2nd page

Img140 - 3rd page from the letter mentioned above

Constable Ben Dyball was the intersection at 19.18 hours (7.18pm).  Then at 21.50 hours (9.50pm) Constable Ben Dyball booked back on air.  That is a difference of a time space of 2 hours and thirty minutes that has not been accounted for. 

At 21.59 (9.59pm) Constable Ben Dyball proceeded to the John Tonge Centre (the morgue at Coopers Plains).  At 22.19 hours (10.19pm) Constable Ben Dyball arrived at the morgue.  The time of travel to the morgue took twenty minutes.  Then Constable Ben Dyball and my sister waited for Andrew to arrive at the morgue at 22.50 hours (10.50pm). In Constable Ben Dyball's presence Andrew was identified by Margaret Samootin at 10.45pm. Constable Ben Dyball then took the identification photograph at 10.50pm.  At the hearing Constable Ben Dyball said that “we” had cleaned Andrew’s face.  So the question to ask is “Where did Constable Ben Dyball go to prior to booking back on air at 21.59 hours?” 

Constable Ben Dyball had claimed that he had picked my sister at her place of residence at Manly.  Records show that he could not have picked my sister up at her place.  Constable Ben Dyball must have really put his foot down on the pedal to get to the morgue in twenty minutes from the accident site.  I took the route a few times on a Sunday morning, i.e. the accident site at Lytton to the morgue at Middle Street, Coopers Plains.  It took me about thirty-five minutes each way

Img141 - Fourth page of the letter referred to above

At 23.08 hours (11.08pm) Constable Ben Dyball did not finish the job.  At 23.30 (11.30pm) Constable Ben Dyball finished the job.  Presumably he had returned to Wynnum Police Station

Img142 - Extract from the Queensland Police Service Traffic Accident Investigation Law & Procedure Manual

It is stated that the location of the place of impact can be ascertained by the gouge marks on the road surface, glass or other objects collected together and blood areas on certain occasions, e.g. in Andrew’s accident the grassed area of the traffic island.  This is the manual that was in issue when Constable Samantha Johnson and Sergeant John Ruller carried out their investigation into Andrew’s accident

Img145 - Extract from Police Manual - According to the police manual Constable Johnson and Sergeant Ruller should have taken photographs of the relationship between the vehicles, damaged property or injured or deceased persons; debris of the accident; four sides of the vehicle involved in the accident; and the path of the respective vehicles. This did not occur.  In fact the rear of the utility involved in the accident was concealed by the red Ford Falcon 045CEW.  The other vehicle/s involved in the collision were removed and not photographed. The omission of not photographing all the evidence is concealment of evidence

Putting together Fiore Zulli’s spoken word to me by telephone regarding Andrew’s accident that he saw the driver of the vehicle, John Phillips, swerve to the left and to the left again past the intersection, and the evidence that John Phillips had mounted the curb of the traffic island as per Img002, 003 and 010 under the heading of “Photographs”, I drew in pencil in Fig 8 below, the serve of the vehicle and the curb’s edge so as one can get the impression of how the short sharp horizontal mark had appeared on the utility’s left front wheel as in Img010 the same height as the curb’s edge as portrayed in Img037Sergeant John Ruller, Traffic Investigation Squad, Queensland Police Service, said in his testimony that there should be short sharp marks left on the curb consistent with the vehicle mounting the curb.

In Img005 & 006 one can see skid marks swerving to the left in the background close by to the utility involved in the collision in the same manner as illustrated below in the photograph at the bottom of this page.  At Andrew’s accident this is the point where the tow truck had towed away from the accident site the other vehicle involved in the collision

Img159 - Extract from Police Manual - continuation of the previous image

When one views Img003 under the heading of “Photographs”, in the foreground one can see a similar mark on the road as depicted under the heading of “Collision Scuffs” below.  That is a vehicle that was traveling behind the utility involved in the collision had swerved to the right.  You will note that in Img006 the rear of the utility is hidden by a vehicle parked behind it.  Sergeant John Ruller should have photographed the four sides of the utility as per the police manual.  Sergeant John Ruller concealed evidence in not photographing the full rear end of the utility and all the sides of the utility

Img160 - Extract from Police Manual - continuation of the previous image

Note: In the first paragraph - "The marks, however, show how far the car slid and, from this, how fast the vehicle would have to have entered the skid to stop in that distance."

Constable Samantha Johnson and Sergeant John Ruller did not apply this forensic science to the skid mark on the road in relation to Andrew’s accident.  In other words Sergeant John Ruller and Constable Samantha Johnson concealed evidence in not providing a full and frank disclosure as to the speed of the vehicle at the time of the collision, i.e. between 40 and 50 klms

Img164 - Photograph of the approach to the intersection from Pritchard Road

A photograph of the approach to the intersection traveling on Pritchard Street towards the intersection.  The tip of the red arrow illustrates the point of the the right hand turn lane going into Port Road.  I am standing at the stop sign.  As can be seen it is a sharp right hand turn towards the stop sign.  It is a T intersection.  As can be seen there are no directional signs at the intersection, i.e. signs pointing to Brisbane westwards and to the Port of Brisbane eastwards.  When I viewed the accident site the day after the accident, I could not work out what happened.  My sister, Margaret Samootin, showed me the blood stain on the road and photographed me next to it.  It seemed to be an awfully long way from where the collision was said to have occurred and that is in the middle of the intersection.  Furthermore, there is no way that Andrew would have gone through the stop sign as he had a clear view to the right, and not only that he was always careful on the road.  He was an expert cyclist.  He was a fitness fanatic.  Please refer to the Surveyor’s map of the accident site, as this gives a clear view of the angle of Pritchard’s Street right hand turn lane

Img165 - Letter from the Prime Minister

I wrote a letter to John Howard, the Prime Minister about Andrew being set up to have an accident and used as an illegal organ donor.  Hereunder is the reply that I got dated 25 August 1999.  I was told more or less to rack off.  One would think that if there is such a contravention of Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that there would have been a more significant inquiry carried out by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet

letter from PM's Department

Img166 - Letter from the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Queensland

I wrote a letter to the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Queensland, to re-open the inquest into my son’s death.  That is Andrew was set up to have an accident and used as an illegal organ donor.  My son was murdered in a horrific manner.  The Attorney-General refused.  I consider this to be a massive cover-up and a continuance of what had occurred to my son, as occurring to other innocent victims.  I had been told by George Moss, then a staff member of the Coroner’s office, that my son was the fourth person to be brought in to see if he was the right test match for the Coroner's "operation".  I was told by George Moss that Andrew had died at the time that the Coroner had his "operation".  I was told by him that they had to wait to see if it "took". It "took". The Coroner recovered and then was able to resume his work. He had mountains of work stockpiled on his desk. Before the operation, the Coroner "could hardly move his legs". I noted that after Andrew’s accident that a number of persons got a lot of money; went overseas on extended holidays; purchased new vehicles and etc.  It appears on the face of it that public monies are used to pay persons off for their involvement in illegal activities

Attorney-General's letter

Img167 & 168 - Letter from the Human Rights Commission, Sydney, Australia

I wrote to the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission, Sydney.  I got a negative reply dated 24 June 2004.  The writer clearly understood my complaints, i.e. “You claim you were advised by the Queensland Police that he was killed instantly but you have subsequently found out that he was taken into Police custody alive, tortured and then killed on the 3rd day after the accident as an illegal organ donor”.

In Andrew David Shea’s murder, there was a contravention of Universal Declaration of Human Rights Articles 1, 3 and 5.

In regards to the Coronial Inquest into the Death of Andrew David Shea, there was a contravention of Universal Declaration of Human Rights Articles 6, 7, 8 and 10. 

The Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission should be called another name, as the name it has is very misleading as to the nature of the complaints that they deal with.  And really, all said and done, if they really wanted to do something about Andrew’s case, then there would have been further inquiries and submissions.  Our government officials are nothing but a bunch of “show ponies”.  The “show ponies” excel in collecting a nice fat pay check for their non existent services on human rights issues
