Robert Farquharson’s name has been removed from the headstone of his three children, whom he murdered in 2005

Triple murderer Farquharson loses claim over gravesites of children he murdered​


Robert Farquharson has been stripped of his control over the gravestones of the three children he murdered when he drove a car into a dam in 2005, after a Victorian government intervention.

Farquharson is the first convicted person in Victoria to lose the rights over a family member’s gravesite after legislative changes in 2021. It comes almost two decades since he deliberately drove his three children into a dam in south-western Victoria, in an act of revenge against his ex-partner for leaving him.
 
Convicted Murderer Loses Grave Rights in Landmark Victoria State Ruling

In a landmark decision, Victoria, Australia, has stripped the rights of convicted murderer Robert Farquharson over the graves of his three young sons. Farquharson, who was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 33 years for driving his children, Jai, Tyler, and Bailey, into a dam in 2005, had maintained control of the children's gravesite. This is the first time a criminal has had such rights revoked under a new state law

Hi @TootsieFootsie,
60 minutes have it as well on UTube:

Serious questions raised about the case of convicted triple murderer | 60 Minutes Australia

I'll always remember Jai, Tyler, and Bailey.
Tragically, their mother Cindy Gambino-Moules died in 2022, even tho she's with them now - she became a warrior for them here on earth.

MOO
Grrrrrrrr - grammar:(

ABC 7.30 Robert Farquharson set to launch fresh Appeal

IDK what to think.
When this tragic event occurred I didn't want to believe that it was a deliberate choice by RF. I later changed my opinion after the trials.

After listening to the Podcast, I think I am sitting on the fence.
"Despite the guilty jury verdicts and two unsuccessful appeals, Farquharson's supporters believe he was wrongly convicted.
Those supporters include a specialist respiratory doctor Dr Chris Steinfort who testified at Farquharson's previous trials.
"Among the people Dr Steinfort had since encountered or diagnosed with the condition was Geoffrey Ferguson, a truck driver jailed over a fatal crash in which another driver died.
"He happened to be talking on a hands-free mobile phone to his brother, and then suddenly he started to cough very violently," Dr Steinfort said.
"His brother described a pause of around four or five seconds with no sound whatsoever, then there was a deep breath in and expletive, and then a crash."

Mr Ferguson — who was also sick at the time of his crash — was later released upon appeal, with Victoria's Court of Appeal accepting he may have been unconscious at the time."
