Final submissions given in Hillcrest jumping castle deaths case

Published
There'll be a four month wait for families for a decision in the criminal case into the Hillcrest jumping castle tragedy. Six children died when a wind gust lifted the jumping castle into the air at the northern Tasmania primary school at an end of year celebration in 2021. Families once again gathered at the Devonport Magistrates Court today, to listen to final submissions from the prosecution and defence about the day their children died. SBS Tasmania Correspondent Kerrin Thomas is in Devonport.
