Surrender deadline for accused Qld killer A MAN accused of the notorious slayings of his wife and her best friend in Queensland has until the end of Friday to surrender to police. Earlier this month, State Coroner Michael Barnes committed Alan Leahy to stand trial over the deaths of his wife Julie-Anne Leahy and her friend Vicki Arnold. Mr Barnes overturned previous coronial findings that the women died in a murder-suicide. He gave Mr Leahy, who has been in Perth, two weeks to hand himself in to police. A week ago, Mr Leahy's lawyer Malcolm Liston said his client denied any involvement in the deaths. Mr Liston said his client would voluntarily surrender himself to Queensland police "in due course."
