Cheryl Grimmer, aged three, was kidnapped from a changing area after spending a morning at the seaside with her mother and three brothers in 1970, near the city of Wollongong in New South Wales (NSW) state. Jeremy Buckingham, of the Legalise Cannabis Party, used parliamentary privilege on Thursday to identify a man known as Mercury. In parliament on Thursday, Mr Buckingham read out Mercury’s confession and revealed his identity before calling for a new investigation into Cheryl’s murder. “The family of Cheryl Grimmer have been through so much anguish over such a long period of time,” he said. A coroner in 2011 found Cheryl had died – but her cause and manner of death remained undetermined, NSW Police said.
