A man accused of murdering Charlise Mutten has denied drugging and shooting the girl, telling a court he “never touched her”. Justin Stein has pleaded not guilty to murdering Charlise in January 2022, claiming the girl’s mother Kallista Mutten shot her. Charlise’s body was found dumped by the Colo River, northwest of Sydney in NSW, four days after she was reported missing, with gunshot wounds to her head and lower back.
According to Stein, the trio returned to Mount Wilson that evening and he was working in a shed on the property soon after 9pm when he heard a gunshot. “I went outside the shed ... that’s when I heard Charlise screaming, ‘mummy, no’, and then bang, there was a second gunshot,” Stein said. Mutten has denied involvement in her daughter’s death and broke down in tears when faced with the accusation from Stein’s lawyer during her evidence.
