Perth Podcaster Charged With Partner's Murder in Bassendean

Tobias Marcus Nuttall, a 32-year-old conspiracy theorist podcaster and co-host of the 'Waking World' podcast focusing on the occult and spirituality, has been charged with the murder of his 30-year-old partner in Bassendean, Perth. Police found the woman with stab wounds at a home on Reid Street and she later died at Royal Perth Hospital. Nuttall, who holds a bachelor of philosophy from the University of Notre Dame, appeared in Midland Magistrates Court wearing a blue jumpsuit and confirmed his name but did not speak further. His co-host has informed listeners of the serious charge, and Nuttall will next appear in Stirling Gardens Magistrates Court in September. The WA Police Homicide Squad continues to investigate, with police and forensic officers having searched the scene. The case has drawn public attention due to Nuttall’s role in a podcast that explores hidden agendas and esoteric knowledge.
