Bush service for murder victims
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Detectives yesterday attended the memorial service to Joanne Walters and Caroline Clarke, the murdered British backpackers, at the spot where their bodies were found in the bush in New South Wales, Australia.
Ms Clarke's body has been flown to her home town, Slaley in Northumberland. Ms Walters' body has been released for burial, but it is not known when it will be flown to Britain.
