Australian TV star, Matt Wright, wanted by police in relation to a fatal helicopter crash

Australian TV star, Matt Wright is wanted in relation to a fatal helicopter crash that killed his fellow cast mate, Chris “Willow” Wilson.

An arrest warrant has now been issued. Wright has been told he must hand himself in by 9.00am local time on Wednesday.

He is expected to be charged with perverting the course of justice, destruction of evidence, fabricating evidence, interfering with witnesses, unlawful entry and making a false statement.

Fellow Outback Wrangler star, Wilson died when the helicopter carrying him crashed during a crocodile-egg-collecting mission in West Arnhem Land.

The February helicopter incident also left a second man badly injured.

Wright has been living in Queensland. He has been told to attend a police station in Darwin, where police will formally charge him.

An investigation into the helicopter incident has spanned a period of more than six months.

Wright flew to the scene of the crash with three other individuals.

Two of these people have since been charged with a number of offences, including destroying evidence.
