Father Killed His Sons to Make His Wife Suffer
With the aim of making his estranged wife suffer and hate every Father's Day all her life, a man killed his three young sons.
The Melbourne court was told that 38-year old Robert Farquharson allegedly murdered ten-year-old Jai, seven-year-old Tyler and two-year-old Bailey by driving his sons into a dam, located in south-west of Melbourne. The event took place on Father's Day 2005.
In the Victorian Supreme Court the man pleaded not guilty of murdering three people. Prosecutor Jeremy Rapke QC stated that 2 to 3 months before the murder Robert Farquharson was spotted outside a shop together with his friend Gregory King.
"I got the shit car, she gets to drive around in the good car," Robert Farquharson told his friend Gregory King. These words were quoted by Jeremy Rapke. He also said that the accused told Mr. King the following: "She is not going to do that to me and get away with it". Rapke mentioned that Robert Farquharson wanted to take away what was the most important to his estranged wife.
Later, according to Mr. Rapke, Farquharson motioned with his head to his three sons while they were in the shop. Then, the court was told that the man said the key phrase: "Cindy will suffer every Fathers' Day for the rest of her life".
Peter Morrissey, Farquharson's attorney, stated that the crown's case had only a theoretical base, which is why he asked jurors to pay attention on the real facts.
While Mr. Morrissey was saying sympathetic phrases like "There are three beautiful kids dead, their father is on trial and ... he loved these kids ..." Mr. Farquharson wiped the tears of his eyes with a handkerchief.
The attorney said that his client was suffering from a coughing fit while he was droving along the Princes Highway. He then blacked out and the only thing he could remember was being sunk in water.
Mr. Farquharson's defense states that he didn't kill his kids. According to the accused he tried to save his kids but failed to do so.

The true solution is to integrate people into a supportive community where social standards and morals are enforced positively. Should this man have had a support network that objected to his behavior (which took a long time to develop into a murderer) things could have been different. But from a sociological standpoint - when there is someone reinforcing negative thoughts such as his friend and there are marital problems / borderline personality issues there is disaster waiting to happen.
The sad thing is most men are reluctant to admit they need counseling or even medication in some cases to recover from destructive behaviors. - 1 votes

An ACCESSORY IS DISTINGUISHED from an accomplice as SOMEONE who normally is PRESENT at the crime and/or participates in some way. An accessory must generally HAVE KNOWLEDGE that a crime is being, or WILL BE COMMITTED. A person WITH such knowledge MAY become an accessory by helping or encouraging the criminal in some way, OR simply by FAILING TO REPORT the crime to proper authority. The assistance to the criminal may be of any type, including EMOTIONAL or financial assistance as well as physical assistance or CONCEALMENT.

What the husband and wife get out of the marriage is what BOTH put into it. What type of friend are you? Hearing him say that... did you even say, "that it isn't a nice thing to say about your kids," Did you even talk to the police about your friend saying that? Didn't any bells or whistles go off in your head? Being his friend, you should know his mental stability, did you EVER think at any given point that he could be capable of hurting his kids TO SPITE his wife? Knowing it and not saying anything to the police about it, prior to the crime being committed ...wouldn't that be considered an accessory contrary to the fact? You keeping your mouth shut about it, isn't it just as bad as doing the crime? To condone that what your friend did AS okay, makes me really concerned that you would support your friend. Phrases like,"She is not going to do that to me and get away with it". "Cindy will suffer every Fathers' Day for the rest of her life". would concern ME very much and I would question what my friend meant by it, if it had happened me, but for you to not even go to anyone AND to go without saying anything AFTER he uttered those things and with the non-verbal gestures, concerns me too. Did YOU at ANY given point, even get concerned for the welfare of those three poor defenseless boys? Maybe you should step back and reassess yourself too? Take a good hard look at yourself and wonder for the rest of your life, IF you had said anything to the authorities the day he said those awful things...MAYBE the kids would still be around, if you had said something?? Btw...IF he had a COUGHING fit...there IS such a thing...as to PULL OVER on the side of the road, taking your foot off the gas, applying the brakes and parking. "A narcissist is generally an adult; between 1/2 and 3/4 of narcissists are men, the rest being women." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism#Medical_narcissism Read under the heading "Typical traits of a narcissist" This article is very interesting to read. Seeing things from another spectrum is a real eye opener isn't it??

Sure, this article starts from that premise but people should really be a little more discerning. For all you know, he could be telling the truth. So a severe coughing fit is now murder?
Yeah, right. Y'all are real objective people. - 1 votes

Had she not been planning to divorce him and then extort him for child support by estranging him from his kids, there would have been no problem. But hey, she could always kill the kids and get off, like mothers usually do. They're the real monsters - modern narcissistic females incapable of sacrifice.
