AI-generated summary
Larry John Weber, 33, was found dead outside his Rowville home on 28 May 2002 with multiple stab wounds to the head and neck resulting in acute blood loss. He had reported Craig Gorman to police for an alleged assault in December 2001 and subsequently believed Gorman was stalking him. Larry ended his relationship with Lynda Slawinski in February 2002, after which she resumed her relationship with Gorman. Criminal prosecution against Gorman had been authorized. Despite Gorman having apparent motive and the coroner noting he gave a false account of his whereabouts on the evening of the death, the investigation discovered no forensic or other evidence connecting him to the death. Applying the Briginshaw test for the required standard of proof, the coroner found insufficient evidence to conclude Gorman was responsible. The coroner found Larry died at the hands of a person or persons unknown.
