The man accused of killing Charlise Mutten says he didn’t know the schoolgirl’s body was on the back of his ute when he was caught on camera towing a boat and buying bags of sand.

Justin Stein has pleaded not guilty to murdering nine-year-old Charlise in January 2022, claiming it was the girl’s mother, Kallista Mutten, who shot her.
