Tampering with evidence offences and laws in New South Wales

The 24-year-old police officer son of former senator Kristina Keneally has pled not guilty to charges detailing that he fabricated evidence, leading to a man being remanded into custody for three weeks.

The prosecution will allege that Daniel John Keneally falsely accused 34-year-old Luke Moore of threatening to kill a police officer during a phone call to Newtown police station in February 2021.

Moore was remanded in a maximum-security correctional centre for weeks, after Constable Keneally provided details of the complaint and he was charged by the Fixated Persons Unit.

Keneally claimed in the intelligence report that Moore stated he wanted certain officers ‘gone' and ‘off this planet' and when questioned what this meant, he replied: “Good as gone. Dead.”
