Not in the Public Interest - Williams, Bryon

. .

Résumé :
Well known English/ Australian entertainers, Patti and Dennis Price, are contracted to appear at the popular La Boit, in Limassol on the island of Cyprus. Their contract in this internationally famous tourist mecca is exended and they invite their beautiful daughter, Tianne, to join them from London where she has been studying to be an actress. Tianne meets the handsome and charasmaic, Rashid, a fellow actor and model who claims to come from Iran, is also an Islamic freedom fighter with strong ties to the PLO. They fall in love and marry in Athens despite Rashid already being married with a family. But being a Muslim he claims his marriage is over and he can have more than one wife but the other compelling reason is that Rashid doesn't have a passport and he desperately wants to get into Australia and can now travel on his new wife's passport. However the marriage becomes very stormy after only a few months with many episodes of domestic violence. After they settle in Australia, Tianne decides to leave Rashid but as he is very jealous and controlling this is not easy for her. Eventually, Tianne's battered and strangled body is discovered on a Gold Coast golf course and a murder warrant is issued for Rashid and he is arrested in Melbourne attempting to flee Austalia under a false name. He is extradited to Brisbane and the ensuing investigation and court cases make Australian legal history. Not in the Public Interest is an intriguing new theory based on a true story as recalled by Tianne's mother, Patti, in her struggle to bring her daughter's murderer to justice but it appears that hidden forces are at work to prevent this from happening.
