The Northern Territory Police Force acknowledges the death of Bradley John Murdoch, the man convicted of the 2001 murder of British backpacker Peter Falconio near Barrow Creek.

It is deeply regrettable that Murdoch has died without, as far as we are aware, ever disclosing the location of Peter Falconio’s remains.

His silence has denied the Falconio family the closure they have so long deserved.

Our thoughts are with the Falconio family in the United Kingdom, whose grief continues.

The Northern Territory Police Force remains committed to resolving this final piece of the investigation.

We continue to appeal to anyone who may have information that could lead us to Peter Falconio’s remains to come forward, no matter how small the detail may seem.

A reward of up to $500,000 is available to anyone providing information that leads to the discovery of Peter Falconio’s remains.
