Qld: Lie detector test finds Carroll innocent

A man found guilty and then acquitted twice of murdering a Queensland toddler 33 years
ago .. has passed a lie detector test.

48-year-old RAYMOND JOHN CARROLL's consistently denied he had anything to do with the
April .. 1973 .. murder of 17-month-old DEIDRE KENNEDY in Ipswich .. west of Brisbane.

The test has monitored CARROLL's blood pressure .. breathing and perspiration.

It's been conducted by the Australian Polygraph Services for the Nine Network's 60
Minutes program .. and found conclusively that he's telling the truth.





Baby DEIDRE was taken from her home .. sexually assaulted and her body was dumped on
the roof of a toilet block.

CARROLL was convicted of the murder in 1985 and sentenced to life in jail .. but made
a successful appeal based on doubts surrounding forensic evidence.

He was then convicted for perjury in 2000 .. but that too was overturned on the grounds
of double jeopardy.
