A coronial inquest into the 1973 rape and murder of teenage beauty queen Bronwynne Richardson has heard there is little chance of anyone being prosecuted over her death because the three key suspects are dead.
Key points:
The brother of one of the prime suspects in the brutal 1973 murder of Bronwynne Richardson broke down while giving evidence at an inquest on Friday
Another man, Ross Eames, is also not believed to have been involved.
The inquest heard new evidence suggests Bronwynne s assault lasted longer than initially thought, which placed Mr Brown at a Burrumbuttock hotel 30km from Albury at the time.
Detective Sergeant Steve Morgan told the inquest there was new evidence to show that Bronwynne s cousin Colin Newey and Max Martin were in the area at the time of her abduction and murder.
A third man, Kevin Newman, is also thought to be involved, however all three men have died.
