What the paper says

In 2012, Brent Mack ('Mack') was found guilty of the 2008 murder of his mother Ah Bee Mack. Following his conviction, the court ordered that the operation of the forfeiture rule precluded Mack from inheriting any part of his mother's estate, and instead ruled that her estate would pass to her only other son Adrian Mack. However, Adrian Mack died intestate in 2014 and, as a result, the Public Trustee of Western Australia, acting as the Administrator of Ah Bee Mack's estate, brought an action to prevent Mack from indirectly inheriting any part of his mother's estate through the estate of his brother. There had been no suggestion that Mack was involved in his brother's death.
