    The half-brother of Lachie Jones, has again denied allegations of his involvement in the Gore toddler's death

    The half-brother of Lachie Jones, has again denied allegations of his involvement in the Gore toddler's death


    The three-year-old was found dead in a council oxidation pond in 2019.

    Lachie's father believes he was murdered - despite police concluding he drowned.

    A witness told the Coronial inquest another witness - Tyler Tremaine - told her the toddler's half brother, Johnny Scott, informed him he'd thrown Lachie in the water.

    But Scott says he never said that - and wouldn't joke about it either.

    He previously denied allegations of storing Lachie's body in a freezer in May, but admitted buying cannabis when people searched for his brother, on the night he disappeared.
