If the accused's family really did flee, you have to wonder what they already knew or what words were spoken/evidence presented to them by police...
Parents don't just pack up and leave. They would have had to have been so certain in their minds and hearts that the accused was guilty.
All JMO!!
I don't think we know that the accused's family fled anywhere. All that I have read is that the accused was unsupported by family or friends in his first court hearing.
The Ballarat mayor has been very vocal about how both families need community support. There are many links, here is one:
Mr Hudson urged locals to let the investigation take its course, reminding the crowd that the accused and his family were also members of the Ballarat community.
“We need to be mindful that there are two families that are involved,” Mr Hudson said.

Mourners gathered in Ballarat to pay tribute to local mum Samantha Murphy after a man was charged with murder earlier this week. Her body is yet to be found.
