Borce Ristevski’s claim that his murdered wife’s Mercedes had a faulty fuel gauge has been disputed by a Melbourne mechanic who serviced the car.
Mr Ristevski has told police he took the Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 coupe for a drive to test the faulty gauge on the day his wife Karen disappeared last year.
But the mechanic, who has been interviewed by detectives, told The Herald Sun he’s serviced Ms Ristevski’s coupe for years and had never noticed an issue with the fuel gauge.
