Subscriber only In the final moments of his life, Michael McCabe was beaten, bound and hauled into the back of a car before he was brutally murdered. Now, six years after his untimely death, a court has dismissed the appeal of one of the men serving a life sentence for his murder. The 25-year-old s decomposing body was found a month after he disappeared in August 2015, dumped in an isolated area about 70km from Townsville. After a series of false starts and retrials, Jason Douglas Taylor and Brent Malcolm Huxley were convicted of his murder. Queensland s Court of Appeal unanimously quashed Taylor s bid earlier this month to have the matter retried, refuting claims the jury s verdict was unreasonable and that there were multiple miscarriages of justice in his original trial.
