00:00Malcolm was a larrikin. He is the sixth youngest of 16 children and we all used to fight a
00:17lot but he was an absolutely fantastic brother. He was a man of his word and would give you
00:27the shirt off his back if he had to and he loved his fishing, loved having a joke around.
00:37He was just an amazing man. The family has been quite angry not knowing what actually
00:43happened to Malcolm and how he felt in his last moments and just making the family angry
00:53of not knowing what happened and there are people out there that know
00:59what happened to Malcolm and his last moments. For us as a family
01:05we're actually glad our mum and dad aren't alive to see all this.
01:11It would just mean the world to us to know
01:14that the person that is responsible is, whether it's a person or people, are brought to justice
01:26not only for Malcolm but for his kids, his grandchildren and this family.
01:33We are just asking anybody that knows anything, doesn't matter whether it's small,
01:40please go and see the Mussabrook Police Station. Malcolm was a man that had his faults just like
01:48the rest of us but he deserved better than he got so if you know anything please come forward.
02:00We done fishing, bike riding, hang out with the family. The night before me and my wife got back
02:08a couple of days before and we had COVID off the ship that we were on and we were supposed to go
02:14down and pick him up and we were talking to him and I was on my way down to New South Wales to
02:20pick him up. It's an eight hour drive and I got a phone call halfway down, angry, very angry.
02:30I'm still very angry that he was even under the bridge
02:37and people saying that he's homeless when he wasn't. We would really appreciate it if we
02:42had some sort of answers how he ended up in the water because he could swim, he's an excellent
02:49swimmer. It just doesn't make sense where he was found. Can you please if you know something
02:59anything either tell one of the family members in Mussabrook or tell the police and we'll go from there.
