Josie Murray, the grandmother of missing four-year-old Gus Lamont, appears in Adelaide court after police found firearms equipment during searches of the family’s remote property. Several reports say Murray is charged over an offence that is not linked to Gus Lamont’s disappearance. ABC and The Guardian report that Murray pleads guilty to possessing a gun silencer (also described as a sound moderator) and is fined $10,500. The Guardian also reports she is disqualified from holding or obtaining firearms for five years. The West Australian and PerthNow describe the court appearance as connected to guns found during a police search but characterize the matter as unrelated to the missing boy. Police have previously said the firearms offence is separate from the disappearance investigation. The reports place the court proceedings in Adelaide magistrates court and describe the offence as occurring in connection with the Oak Park Station area in South Australia’s far north, where police undertook searches involving the family.
