Podcaster Tobias Nuttall Charged with Girlfriend’s Murder in Perth

A well-known conspiracy theorist podcaster, Tobias Nuttall, has been charged with the murder of his girlfriend following a tragic incident in Perth, Australia. The 32-year-old was arrested at his home in Bassendean on August 30, 2023, after police responded to reports of a serious incident. Officers discovered a woman with multiple stab wounds, who later died at Royal Perth Hospital.

The victim, who has not yet been publicly identified, was 30 years old and believed to have worked in the sex industry. Emergency services rushed her to the hospital in critical condition, but she succumbed to her injuries a few hours later. Nuttall made a brief appearance at the Midland Magistrates Court on September 1, 2023, where he confirmed his name but did not provide further comment. He is scheduled to return to court on September 17, 2023.

Nuttall is the co-host of the podcast Waking World, which delves into topics related to conspiracy theories, spirituality, and the occult. Following Nuttall’s arrest, his co-host, Dale, addressed listeners in a solo episode, expressing shock at the situation. He stated, “Toby has been charged… with a very, very serious offence over in Perth, something that happened on Wednesday.” Dale further noted that both Nuttall and the victim had a shared interest in rituals and magic, mentioning their engagement to each other.

The podcast’s description on Spotify claims to offer a platform where “Reality Gets a Reality Check,” reflecting the controversial nature of its content. Nuttall’s arrest has drawn attention not only due to his online persona but also because of the serious allegations against him.

As the case moves forward, the community and followers of Nuttall’s podcast are left to grapple with the implications of this incident. The legal proceedings will likely shed further light on the circumstances surrounding the tragic event that led to the loss of life.
