 My name is Don Mavit, I'm an acting detective superintendent attached to the Metropolitan South region and the regional crime coordinator. Can you tell us what's happened today? Yes, this morning a 53-year-old McClay Island man was arrested on McClay Island in relation to the investigation to the murder of Mrs Watson on the island back in their member last year. He's been charged at the Brisbane City Watch House and will be appearing in court tomorrow morning. What's he been charged with? One count of murder. He's been taken to the Watch House in the city and will be appearing in the Bridge and Magistrates Court tomorrow morning. And what happens at the hearing tomorrow? He will appear before the Magistrate and they'll determine what to do from there. What were you, police, to be allergic to this? Look, police will be alleging that he's responsible for the murder of Mrs Watson. It was quite a bit. Is there anything that he can elaborate on in that? Look, I'm not going to elaborate in relation to any of the evidence in relation to that or the hammer. But what I will say is that without the continued support of the McClay Island community, we wouldn't have been able to get to this stage in the investigation or make this arrest. The investigation? You had lots and lots of calls from members of the community? Look, the community in general and in McClay Island in particular have been very on the front foot of phone crime stoppers on many occasions and provided information to us which has subsequently led to this arrest. And you spoke to the family this morning to let them know that this had happened? Yes, members of every family have been spoken to and they are very relieved that an arrest has been made. No, I'm not at liberty to confirm who he is till he's appeared in court. Can you also, at the time you did speak of how brutal the death was, are you able to get to just go over that forest in terms of how bad the death was? It was a vicious murder and that's all I'm prepared to say about that but that's exactly what it was. Long investigation, was there one thing that suddenly happened that meant that you could then move towards this arrest today? No, but what happened right from the outset, the proper framework was laid for the investigation by the detectives investigating it and also by information coming from the public, as I've said, from McLey Island as well in particular and that is what has put us in this stage to build on the investigation and make this arrest. And is there any sense from the islanders that the community doesn't say that this attack has happened? Look, not that I'm aware of and I don't think so and by their community spirit in providing information to us, it certainly doesn't appear to be the case. That's the first that I'm aware of, that's right, yes. Look, I'm not prepared to discuss that. I know that's been reported in the media but I'll leave that for the court process to bring out. Can you tell us what the man was arrested this morning? He was arrested at a local supermarket on the island. Yeah, that's where he was arrested. Was there a large operation in order to affect that arrest? We had detectives travelling over there today for that purpose. They encountered him at the supermarket or outside the supermarket and that's where the arrest happened. Do you know what time that was? Around about 8.30 this morning.
