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.

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."

The conviction of Robert Farquharson for the murder of his three sons is under intense scrutiny due to doubts about the prosecution's evidence. This case highlights the crisis in handling expert opinion evidence in Australian courts, which often ignore top scientific advice. Professor David Hamer from the Sydney Law School examines the system's susceptibility to "junk science."​SYDNEY UNIVERSITY - READ MORE HERE

I just finished it as well. Would be very interested to hear your perspective. I too jumped on the fence (briefly) but now I'm leaning way more toward guilty.

Do you remember if it's true that his hair wasn't wet? I may have been distracted, but I thought they did.
