[Music] Coming up, morning the loss of a highly respected police officer, the Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Police investigation deepens, and a popular US television host says goodbye. I'm Jack Hahn with your afternoon news update. Tributes have pulled in for a Victoria Police Officer who died while travelling in South America. The body of 52-year-old Sergeant Matt Paton was found this morning after falling in a trail in Peru. He is survived by his wife and three children. His family have released his statement saying they're shattered, describing him as witty and clever. Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Mike Bush says he will be remembered for his selflessness, amazing sense of humour, extreme kindness and inclusion of all. A proud Queenslander, he joined Victoria Police in 2009, becoming an instructor at the Academy in 2017. There's been a bombshell development in the police investigation into Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, local police have announced they've expanded their misconduct in public office probe to include other crimes. One of the fresh allegations relate to a woman who was allegedly trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein to the United Kingdom to have sex with the former prince. The Prime Minister is paying down suggestions, he's planning a carve-out of some of his tax reforms to stem growing backlash against the changes. There could be adjustments to trusts, removing discretionary trusts from the 30% tax hike, the opposition claims. It's a death tax by stealth given that it's activated upon the passing of the person who created it. And then he says the more work is being done on the legislation. And there's no measures in there that are going to hurt inheritances. So we'll work through the legislation we've said will be introduced in the second half of the year. The opposition maintains another group of women and children with links to Islamic state should be prevented from entering Australia. The seven women and 14 children have left a camp in Syria and they're travelling to Damascus. From there it's understood they'll fly home with some potentially facing arrests upon arrival. The Releater Angers Taylor argues the group poses a security risk and should not be allowed in. The government should be doing everything in its power to prevent these people from coming because they turned their back on our country to support a terrorist organisation. One that has been guilty of extraordinary atrocities, including on Australians. Police say a man fell to his death after jumping off a balcony to escape a brittle attack in Sydney's northwest. Three have since been charged with the murder of the 44-year-old in Castle Hill. One more is wanted Jake Campbell described as being about 180 centimetres tall with black hair, blue eyes known to frequent the city and the city's eastern suburbs. Police alleged a teacher spent four years grooming a girl that he was teaching. The 35 year old man from Sydney's southwest has been denied bail to remain behind bars until he next faces court charged with the range of offenses including allegations he was in possession of child abuse material. Detective Acting Superintendent Adam Proudly says parents have a right to feel concerned. As a parent, as a community member and experienced police officer, it's very confronting and very concerning. When I see trusted members of our community like educators allegedly involved in offenses like this. American late night television host Stephen Colbert has taped his final program for CBS with Paul McCartney is his final guest. Media critics alleged the show which shocked and criticized the US president was cancelled to help the television station's parent company secure government approval for a merger worth $11 billion. But CBS argues the show was simply no longer profitable. Mr Colbert says he's feeling grateful. If you're just tuning into the late show, you missed a lot. Tonight is our final broadcast from the Ed Sullivan theatre. Where no, no, we were lucky enough to be here. Ending other news, robot taxi services have been suspended in the United States after one vehicle drove into flood waters in the city of Atlanta.
