Dear Tess,

Thank you for your reply.
My request in this case would be under "some evidence that there is a public interest in you
receiving the information".
This case has been a very widely reported in the media by many news organisations throughout the country and the charges that the police made were unusal compared to the many similar cases that occur regularly.

Yours sincerely,

Percy Doyle
