Harriet Wran pleads guilty to robbery after murder charge dropped
|
Version 0 of 1. The crown has dropped a murder charge against Harriet Wran, the youngest daughter of former New South Wales premier Neville Wran, over the death of Redfern drug dealer Daniel McNulty. Wran was set to face a judge-alone trial in the NSW supreme court this week before Justice Ian Harrison. But as she was arraigned before a packed courtroom in Sydney on Wednesday, it became clear the 28-year-old would no longer be prosecuted in relation to allegations that she murdered McNulty as part of a joint criminal enterprise in August 2014. Instead she was indicted on a charge of robbing Brett Fitzgerald of $650 at Redfern on August 10 that year, and in a clear voice uttered the word: “Guilty.” She has also pleaded guilty to a charge of harbouring, maintaining or assisting her then-boyfriend Michael Lee, knowing that he had allegedly murdered McNulty. |
