Australian Story: Aug 3A NSW family felt vindicated after new inquest last month changed the story of a 1988 death originally deemed foul play. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this post contains images, and names of deceased persons. Monday’s Australian Story looks back on the death of an Indigenous teenager in 1988. When Indigenous teenager Mark Haines was found dead on a train track near the NSW town of Tamworth, his family immediately suspected foul play. “He would not walk out there and lay down on railway tracks,” says school friend Jason Wann.
