32-Year Battle ends for Chamberlains

Today the findings of the fourth inquest into the death of Azaria Chamberlian was revealed at the NT Magistrates Court.

Below is a story I wrote on the findings for My Suburban News after hearing the statements made by both Michael and Lindy via Sky News earlier today.

Dingo took two-month-old Azaria Chamberlain, coroner finds
Independent Coroner Elizabeth Morris has ruled the death of Azaria Chamberlain was the result of being taken by a dingo.

The new inquest result was determined after three previous inquests and one royal commission previously ruling the death as 'unknown.'

Members of the Chamberlian family gathered at the front of the Darwin Magistrates court where both Michael and Lindy spoke.

"We're relieved and delighted to come to the end of this saga," said Ms Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton to the media gathered.

Ms Chamberlain-Creighton stressed that Australia is dangerous and all should take appropriate precautions.

"We live in a beautiful country but it is dangerous and we would ask all Australian's to be aware of this and take appropriate precautions and not wait for somebody else to do it for them," Ms Chamberlain-Creighton said.

Ex-hushband Michael Chamberlain said it is important to pursue justice when the truth is on your side.

"I'm here to tell you that you can get justice even when you think that all is lost, the truth must be on your side," Mr Chamberlain said.

"I cannot express stronly enough how important it is to pursue a just cause even when it seems to be a Mission Impossible.

"The truth is out.

"This has been a terrifying battle, bitter at time but now some healing and a chance to put our daughter's spirit to rest."

The Chamberlain's were not obliged to answer any questions due to a pre-arranged interview with Nine's A Current Affair.
