25-year-old Rafferty Rolfe has been charged with three counts of murder after a serious highway fatality in Queensland.

Rolfe is accused of pursuing a Nissan Navara ute driven by retiree Terry Bishop and carrying passenger Gypsy Satterley.

Both were killed in the crash along with Jessica Townley, who was driving the Great Wall.

Australian correspondent Murray Olds says Rolfe was after Gypsy Satterley after she broke off their relationship, and Terry Bishop was rescuing her.
