Mechanic contradicts Ristevski car claim

A mechanic who serviced murdered woman Karen Ristevski's Mercedes says her husband never told him the car had a faulty fuel gauge.

Borce Ristevski's claim that his murdered wife's Mercedes had a faulty fuel gauge has been disputed by a Melbourne mechanic who serviced the car.

Mr Ristevski has told police he took the Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 coupe for a drive to test the faulty gauge on the day his wife Karen disappeared last year.

But the mechanic, who has been interviewed by detectives, says Mr Ristevski never raised the problem with him, telling the Herald Sun: "In all my time working on Mercedes-Benz cars, I've never come across this type of problem before."
