A mechanic acquitted of murdering one-year-old boy Jaidyn Leskie has been granted bail again despite going on the run and failing to show his face in court for the second time.
In a sign of Victoria s Covid-plagued justice system, Greg Domaszewicz appeared in a Melbourne court on Tuesday without actually showing up or making any indication to the presiding magistrate he was even present.
Domaszewicz was aged 28 on June 14, 1997 when Jaidyn went missing from his care in Newborough, in Victoria s Latrobe Valley.
