JUDGEMENTS | The Mosman Bomb Hoax (R v Paul Douglas Peters)

On August 3, 2011, Paul Douglas Peters, a 50-year-old Australian businessman, entered the Mosman home of 18-year-old Madeleine Pulver on Sydney’s affluent North Shore and strapped what appeared to be a bomb around her neck.

The device, later revealed to be a hoax, was accompanied by an extortion note demanding money from her wealthy family.

What followed was a 10-hour ordeal for Madeleine, an international manhunt, and a legal process that captivated the public and media alike.
