Eyre Peninsula man, Maltalta, was speared by Tukkurm, Nyalta Wkkanin and Kanger Worli as he travelled through Yorke Peninsula on his way from Adelaide to his country. Aboriginal witnesses told the court that Maltalta was killed because he was a stranger, and that it was customary among them to kill strangers as they did not like strangers passing through their country.
