On April 18 2019, Borce Ristevski was sentenced to nine years in prison for the death of Karen Ristevski.
The husband of Melbourne woman Karen Ristevski is the “number one” suspect in the investigation into her death, his lawyer has claimed.
Rob Stary, of Stary Norton Halphen Criminal Lawyers, told Fairfax Media Borce Ristevski attended his offices this morning seeking advice on what the discovery of his wife’s body meant for the case.
Stary told the paper he had been consulting with Mr Ristevski ever since his wife vanished from their Avondale Heights home on June 29 last year.
“Obviously his wife has been found and there’s an autopsy report been completed, he wants to see what that could mean,” he said.
“It’s pretty clear police have him as their number one suspect.”
The 47-year-old mother's remains were found in bushland near Mount Macedon, north west of Melbourne, at 12:30pm Monday, putting an end to one of Australia's most high-profile missing person investigations.
Yet while the discovery has provided some semblance of closure to Ristevski's family, a close friend says it also marks the beginning of something much bigger - finding out who killed her.
