Cops probe possible Greg Bird bail breach


Article from:

POLICE are investigating a possible breach of NRL star Greg Bird's bail conditions following a visit by Bird's manager to the Cronulla Shark's injured girlfriend in hospital yesterday afternoon.
Miranda Local Area Command crime manager Detective Inspector Greg Bamford confirmed police wanted to know the purpose of Gavin Orr’s visit to Kathryn Milligan’s bedside on Tuesday, when Ms Milligan had yet to give a formal statement to police about her alleged glassing by Bird on Sunday morning.

“We are looking at that,’’ Det Insp Bamford told The Daily Telegraph today.

“We would hope to interview the relevant parties soon,’’ he said.
Paul Kent: Should Greg Bird be sacked?
It is believed police would need specific evidence that Bird’s manager Gavin Orr spoke to Ms Milligan on Bird’s behalf when he attended Prince of Wales Hospital, to prove a breach of Bird’s bail and have it revoked.

Does anyone seriously believe Orr was not there representing Bird's interests? If so, please email me, I've got a Harbour Bridge to sell you.

I couldnt see bird walking up to her and whacking her with the glass. He would of had to have some force behind the hit which means he would of had to move his arm backwards up before striking her.

WOuld Katie just be looking at him while he aims up? You would think her reactions would of resulted in her turning her head, putting her hands up to cover her face.

Also i am suprised that noone BUT bird has been blamed. What if bird wasn't home at the time, and if it wasn't his roomate Katie might of been by herself from bewteen 6-8. Then someone has entered the unit, tried to assault Katie, she woke up, they panicked, tried to knock her out with the first thing they could find. Bird comes home and assumed it was his room mate.

Looks like the truth will never been known if she is lieing as well!!!

Where do you get that she's been lying? "We've told police ...." could mean "I've told police...". I think she's more likely to be waiting for her parents to arrive and help her lawyer up.

Also, if it was an accident, why tell the police? How did the police first get involved? If I'd had an accident with broken glass at home I can think of several places to call before the police, eg ambulance, doctor, emergency dept at hospital.

Are you a CEO of an NRL club?

You are really clutching at straws.

I do agree that the "we have told police" could really just be him saying it, misleading the flatmate.

Thats why I specifically said that we might never know the truth "IF, she is lieing about it as well"

you dont ring your mate and ask "how do you feel about that?" after leaving a message that you will / have told police it was the mate that did it

this is the gillette big play - imo it weighs up all the guilt towards him

what other reason would there be to do this

'We told police' sounds more convincing to a potential scapegoat than 'I told police'

If Milligan was in on the cover-up, why would she have said 'why did you do this to me?' to Bird?

I know the message looks to blame it on his friend but have we ever heard anyone but the media say he blamed it on his friend.

We don't know in which context the message was sent. "We've told police it was you, how do you feel"
This could mean "You've hit Katie, we've told police, wish you hadn't done it now?"

If you came home and found your partner with blood pouring out of her face what would you think? The only other person who was in the unit would come to mind first.

To avoid all publicity.

Unknown person glasses unknown person would be lucky to make it into the Leader.

The same person playing golf at that time?
Try again.

His friend was in Bankstown at the time...
