Bill Spedding was earning a quiet living as a washing machine
repairman based in Bonny Hills on the mid-New South Wales Coast,
when his life suddenly changed in 2014.
After responding to a work call out, he became a key 'person
of interest' in one of the state's largest police
investigations in history: the disappearance of 3-year old
William Tyrrell.
Last week, Mr Spedding's lawyers
filed a lawsuit in the NSW Supreme Court, accusing the NSW
Police Force of misfeasance in public office, abuse of process and
malicious prosecution.
Court papers claim the intense police interest and media
scrutiny Mr Spedding has endured have had a devastating effect on
him, and he is seeking $1 million in compensation.
