His widow Vicki Pullen said the new accusations are “horrible.”
“What we thought was a hit-and-run is now being treated as a blunt-force murder. I almost said at first I’m sorry for the driver, but not now.”
Police said there is no evidence to suggest that there was ever any interaction between the two parties before Pullen was struck by the vehicle.
“You don’t want to think about what they’ve done and I know myself that I’m still trying to take care of my children and support them,” Pullen said. “But having to deal with what these people supposedly went out and did. It’s disgusting.”
But she said she is grateful that the Australian police never gave up and followed all leads.
“They are amazing that team. To do what they have done these last two years to get to where we are today is incredible. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: they went further.”
Both defendants have been denied bail to appear in court again next month, while Ian Pullen’s family is denied life with him.
