New potential witnesses have also been named, with the RCMPI website saying that those who may be called to give evidence include: current and former Victoria Police Stuart Bateson, Charlie Bezzina, Terry Purton, Philip Swindells, Murray Gregor, Eliza Burrows, Boris Buick, Peter Trichias, Paul Dale, Cameron Davey, George Tapai and Robert Hill.
