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
Convicted murderer Robert Farquharson becomes the first criminal in Victoria, Australia, to have his rights over the graves of his victims revoked under a new state law. The law aims to prevent killers and serious criminals from exerting control over their victims' graves or memorials.
