De­fence Min­is­ter Wayne Sturge has clar­i­fied his re­cent con­tro­ver­sial re­marks re­gard­ing the 2014 mur­der of spe­cial pros­e­cu­tor Dana See­ta­hal.

Speak­ing with Guardian Me­dia yes­ter­day, Sturge said his ear­li­er com­ments in Par­lia­ment were based on ev­i­dence pre­sent­ed dur­ing the Pre­lim­i­nary In­quiry.

Last Fri­day, Sturge said See­ta­hal knew she was go­ing to be killed, adding that she had cho­sen not to have se­cu­ri­ty and that in­ter­cepts ex­ist­ed in­di­cat­ing a threat to her life.
