Gable Tostee murder trial: Tostee walks free in dramatic scenes outside Supreme Court

Gable Tostee has walked free from the Supreme Court in Brisbane to face a waiting media pack and several intrigued passers-by, who filmed him as he exited the building flanked by his lawyer.

The interest in the case was manifest in two extra court rooms being opened for an overflow of media, family, friends and members of the public.

Mr Tostee stood in silence next to his lawyer as the statement was read out detailing his awareness “of just how tragic this has been for many people”.

He did not respond when 9NEWS reporter Michael Best enquired whether he would like to make any comment.

Mr Tostee was held up as he crossed busy George Street next to the court room, as several onlookers flocked to take photos.
