According to the Herald Sun, the man accused of the infamous cold case murder of Yasmin Sinodinos back in 1991 has been released on bail.
The Adelaide Magistrates Court on Feb. 21, released Timo Pasanen, 43, on bail, ordering he report three times a week to the police and hand in his passport.
Prosecutors said that after discussions with the defence counsel, they did not object to Pasanen’s release.
This submission caught Sinodinos’ children off guard. Sitting in the body of the court, they cried and swore audibly as Chief Magistrate Liz Bolton approved of Pasanen’s release. Outside court, Sinodinos’ son, Phillip Stevens, expressed disappointment with the decision, stating that “It’s a joke. How do you think you would feel if your mum got murdered?”
The police last week made a breakthrough in the murder case of Sinodinos, whose body was discovered in December 1991 on the side of a fire track at Anstey Hill, the Herald reports. Detectives last week arrested Pasanen and charged him with her murder after his DNA was allegedly matched to some collected from Sinodinos’ body 21 years ago.
“There are no words that can describe the hurt and anguish we have had to endure over the last 21 years from what has been taken from us. All we want is justice and for (any) person found guilty of this crime to be put away for life as we are already doing a life sentence without our mother,” Stacey Sinodinos and Stevens said.
