Happily watching TV and that Real Life Insurance ad with that ‘gimmi a lighter’ fouls my living room. Arghhhh. Horrid creature.

Every time I see that advert I remember that mouth.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2019

Joshua Rathmell thought he saw a garbage bag thrown from the fifteenth floor of a CBD apartment building.

Or perhaps it was luggage.

He couldn’t be sure. He wasn’t close enough. Rathmell was walking to the ABC offices where he worked, and passing through Sydney’s Hyde Park.

It was just before 10am on a Saturday morning in July 2011.

Liverpool Street, usually littered with impatient commuters and honking buses, was quiet. Locals sat outside a cafe called The Canopy, facing Hyde Park, a welcome splash of green in the middle of a congested business district.

For the nearby residents sitting at that cafe, they would see something very different.

It wasn’t a garbage bag thrown from The Hyde, the apartment building behind them.

It was a body. And it belonged to 30-year-old Lisa Harnum.

Whoever threw that luggage, according to Joshua, looked like a "junkie".

He was agitated. He wasn't wearing a t-shirt. It was enough to catch the passersby attention.

According to Amy Dale's award-winning book, The Fall, that man wouldn't appear on the street below for some minutes.

By the time he did, Lisa was surrounded by people who had seen the moment of impact. A man named Dr Angus Grey had raced out of his car to help. He checked for signs of life, noticing that the woman - who couldn't have weighed more than 50 kilos - had at least a broken leg, broken ribs and a broken back. She wasn't breathing. There was no pulse.

Listen to True Crime Conversations, where we speak to journalist and author Amy Dale about the murder of Lisa Harnum. Post continues below.

Almost six years since Simon Gittany's conviction, it's well worth remembering that domestic violence doesn't just take the form of a black eye. And forms of abuse, like control, dominance and manipulation, are no less sinister than physical assault.

It was a case that challenged how we understood domestic violence and the consequences of it.

I just had to once last time, maybe.

Thanks for this, tgy. Going to have a listen to this True Crime Conversation, for sure.

I see that the link is via m a m a m i a and the podcast is embedded in article called "A wolf in sheep's clothing: Simon Gittany threw his girlfriend from a 15th floor balcony."

(Still don't understand why this website is starred out here.)

Anthony Koletti reminded me of someone, I couldn't figure out who.
I realise it is Gittany.

 

[Marg from Oz]

When I saw this thread come up I thought Oh no don't tell me t h ey are letting him out already. So glad he is still incarcerated. I think Gittany is probably grey headed by now with no hair dye in gaol. MOO

 

[SouthAussie]

Heartbreaking listening to Lisa's mum.

Also listening to Gittany's background ... arrests for violence and stealing ... his mum, his sister, and him beating up a police officer. (and I am only partially through the video)

Ok what. I’m part way through as well and am not understanding where the later girlfriend is coming from. She certainly didn’t do herself or him any favours but pulling out some very lame and implausible sounding explanations. She seemed to be being deliberately obtuse bit I’m not sure why she would do that?

will continue watching...

My puzzled opinion only!

Rachelle Louise seems to be quite in-your-face. She was involved in an incident at the Star Casino the year after Gittany was imprisoned for murder, where she slapped a security guard and was ejected from the casino.

Not the same kind of classy person that Lisa was.


The court was told she was repeatedly asked to stop swearing. She became increasingly agitated when security guards appeared.
The footage shows her being escorted from the casino by four guards.

Right ok thanks SA.

I should be better educated on such a sad case that happened in Sydney. Domestic violence in Australia is shameful.

Rachell Louise was saying in the teasers for the show, it was impossible for Gittany to pick up Lisa and throw her over the balcony.
I remember messaging the producer of the show about this photo and he called me frothing at the mouth about it. It was then slotted into the
show.

iirc this pic was originally posted by Makara. We miss you Makara.

A discreet safe room has been established at Stockland Shellharbour for women attempting to escape domestic violence.

The room is modelled on the Lisa Harnum Foundation safe rooms, which were set up in shopping centres in Sydney's Hills district three years ago.
