Fresh charges for William Tyrrell's foster mother
Foster mother of missing boy William Tyrrell has been charged by NSW police with stalking offences. This follows two months after the woman was charged with a separate count of common assault.
According to The Australian, a court has previously heard that the foster mother intended to have the assault charges dealt with under the Mental Health Act and medical assessments had been undertaken.
Both foster parents have also pleaded not guilty to separate assault charges laid in November 2021. All of the charges are unrelated to the child's disappearance from his home in Kendall on the state’s mid-north Coast in 2014.
The 56-year-old woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, was charged on Friday.
Police reported that Tyrrell’s foster mum and late foster grandmother were being treated as persons of interest in the little boy’s disappearance in November.
The foster-parents have maintained their denial of any wrongdoing and no charges have been laid against them in relation to Tyrrell vanishing.
