John Singleton’s family sues Nine over family snaps

The family of John Singleton’s late daughter is suing the Nine Network and the Sydney Morning Herald for copyright violation after they published and aired photos of Bondi Junction knife attack victim Dawn Singleton.

Singleton appeared on Nine’s 60 Minutes program on Sunday night, where he objected to an upcoming inquest into the Bondi Junction murders, in which his daughter and five other victims were killed.

During the show, Nine showed photos of Dawn Singleton which her fiance, NSW police officer Ashley Wildey, and her mother, Julie Singleton, say were used without permission. Monday’s Sydney Morning Herald also featured images of Dawn Singleton on its front page.
