In 2016, 20-year-old Elly’s physique was discovered face down behind a bathroom block in coastal Mozambique, two days earlier than she was on account of return house.

Mr Warren carried out his personal investigations within the beachside city.

He acquired affirmation of the murder investigation after Australian Federal Police travelled to East Africa, on the request of the coroner.

Retired murder detective Charlie Bezzina has spent years analysing the case.

The unique Mozambique report describes Elly’s dying as “violent”, and a South African post-mortem discovered sand deep in her lungs.

Despite an inconclusive examination end result, Bezzina has little question.

“This is a murder, this was a homicide that needs to be investigated appropriately with the Federal Police looking over the shoulder of the Mozambique authorities,” he mentioned.

The veteran investigator has supplied an announcement that can type a part of the Victorian inquest.

“It’s based on factual evidence on what’s already been produced in the photographs, witnesses that have come forward and now the acceptance of the Mozambique police,” he mentioned.

“It’s important from an Australian perspective that we also agree with Mozambique and it’s just not swept under the carpet.”

Beginning on Tuesday, the coroner will hear three days of proof from Elly’s family members, medical consultants and investigators.

Her household hopes it should result in an official request from Australia for Mozambique at hand over the case file.

“If there’s any chance of us finding the perpetrators that has murdered my daughter, then that would be closure in a way,” Mr Warren mentioned.

“It’s important that I do this for her because I know damn well that she would do it for me.”
