Borce Ristevski’s son Anthony Rickard drops bombshell
The son of wife killer Borce Ristevski claims he is responsible for his father’s surprise decision to change his plea to guilty.

EXCLUSIVE
………..The suggestion is that Ristevski opted out of a trial to spare his daughter Sarah, now 23, the agony of hearing her estranged brother reveal sordid details of his alleged affair with her mother.
“The first 14 years of my life were bad but they weren’t the worst part of my life,” Mr Rickard told news.com.au.
“I thought things were going to get better when I went to live with them. I was a *advertiser censored**ed up kid and they were meant to ‘save’ me but it turns out that my mother was the good one.
“My mother actually had morals but when I went to live with (Borce and Karen Ristevski), all the morals she put in me turned to . I lost my self respect, I lost everything that was good.
“He knew what was going on between me and Karen but he did nothing, he didn’t protect me, he was a coward.
“That’s why I told him if he didn’t man up now, after all these years of doing nothing while I went through hell, it would all come out in the witness box.”
Mr Rickard says trauma stemming from a dysfunctional family life led to run-ins with the law and drug abuse. However, he remains convinced the threat of his testimony was the reason for his father’s backflip.
Mr Rickard claims he first approached his father about “the situation with Karen” in 2006.
“He told me that we’d work it out as a family, but nothing ever happened,” he said.
And so it festered, unaddressed, until a few weeks before Ms Ristevski mysteriously vanished from the $1 million Avondale Heights home she shared with her husband and their daughter Sarah on June 29, 2016.
Ristevski told police she had stormed out after an argument about money but police could find no witnesses or CCTV footage of her leaving the house that day….
……He told police he initially believed his stepmother had fled voluntarily, citing a phone conversation the pair had two weeks earlier that triggered discord within her marriage. Mr Rickard told cops he’d followed up the call with a text message in which he threatened to kill himself.
“When I first saw that Karen was missing, I initially felt guilt, thinking my call to her may have had something to do with it,” he said at the time.
“Although I’ve had some serious issues with Karen, she was always there for me.”
Mr Rickard later elaborated on the phone call to news.com.au, explaining it had related to exposing an alleged sexual relationship with his stepmother…..
