Husband of murdered Qld woman to surrender A MAN accused of shooting dead his wife and her best friend in far north Queensland more than 20 years ago will hand himself in to police, his lawyer says. Alan Leahy was committed last week to stand trial over the deaths of his wife Julia-Anne Leahy and her friend Vicki Arnold. Their bodies were found in a four-wheel drive in remote bush on the Atherton Tablelands near Cairns on August 9, 1991. For more than two decades it was thought the women died in a murder-suicide pact. But in a sensational finding on Friday after a third inquest, State Coroner Michael Barnes committed Alan Leahy to stand trial for unlawfully killing both women and ordered a warrant be issued for his arrest. Mr Leahy's Atherton solicitor Malcolm Liston says his client will voluntarily surrender himself into the custody of the Queensland Police "in due course." Mr Leahy, who is currently in Western Australia, has until March 15 to hand himself in. In a brief statement, Mr Liston said his client denied any involvement in the deaths and was disappointed in the findings of the latest coroner's inquest.
