09:05 Woman who helped uncover her brother's murder gets compensated
Lee-Anne Cartier helped uncover her brother's murder by the so-called "Black Widow" Helen Milner. Milner was convicted of murdering Philip Nisbet, by feeding him a fatal dose of antihistamine and sedative drugs crushed up in his food. Her appeal against her convictions was rejected last week. An initial police investigation into Phillip Nisbit's death concluded that he had committed suicide. His sister, Lee-Anne Cartier, refused to believe that, and began her own investigation, which was backed up by a coroner who found no evidence that Phillip had intended to kill himself.
