An inquiry into LGBTIQ+ hate crimes has been told police lost evidence and failed to test other exhibits when they first investigated the death of a man whose body was found at a well-known gay beat in Sydney in 1989. The inquiry is examining unsolved suspected hate crimes deaths that took place in New South Wales between 1970 and 2010.
