RAY MARTIN: Lauren's face and skull had been slashed with heavy fibro cutters. Like being beaten with the sharp-end of an axe.
PAT HUXLEY: When I saw the x-rays it was unbelievable.
CHRISTINE HUXLEY: I walked out...
PAT HUXLEY: The only thing holding her skull together was her skin.
CHRISTINE HUXLEY: You know how you have a boiled egg and you crack that boiled egg and it shatters. That is what her skull looked like, it was just all in pieces.
RAY MARTIN: How many cuts were there?
DR RICHARD VICKERS: Approximately seven clear, distinct lacerations to her scalp and face.
RAY MARTIN: Leading facial surgeon Richard Vickers is often asked to beat the odds.
DR RICHARD VICKERS: Her facial bones are all in jagged pieces.
RAY MARTIN: This much damage usually means a high-speed car crash, with little chance of survival.
DR RICHARD VICKERS: I thought she only had a 5% chance of living and if she did survive she would have permanent brain damage.
RAY MARTIN: Richard, how did she survive?
DR RICHARD VICKERS: I don't know, Ray.
Photos of the Huxley Family, via Telegraph link.
Lauren and her family featured on 60 Minutes last night. I wept.
I wept for Lauren's loss. She has been physically damaged by the attack and faces more physiotherapy.
I wept for the Huxley's loss.
I wept that someone could do this to a child, Lauren at 18 was still the Huxley's child.
I wept for the anger of Lauren's father.
No one should go through this pain or this anger.
Update: Pogria has put a link in the comments to a television programme about this shocking murder. I knew of this murder of a family, too.
33 comments:
I know Australia doesn't have capital punishment, but the Jamaican woman who was my secretary when I worked in Miami would always posit the ideal treatment for such a fellow when she read a story like this in the newspaper: "They should roast his balls over an open fire."
Life in prison. If they want to get out, give them a rope to hang on.
RAY MARTIN: Richard, how did she survive?
DR RICHARD VICKERS: I don't know, Ray.
God alone knows.
congrats kae, on your blog. knowing you, you will have a lot to say!
That was one of the saddest things I had ever seen.
It is a testament to Lauren's determination that she pulled through. I believe her when she said she was glad she couldn't remember any of it.
It was good to see the putrid pile of garbage that did that to her get locked up for such a long time.
It's unfortunate that our Judicial system is so uneven in it's sentencing. I watched this last night;

The vicious pile of excrement that snuffed out this family, only got 20 years.
Tim's new home. The Daily Telegraph, from another Australian media source today.
"Is there anything Sydney's Daily Telegraph won't publish in its pursuit of circulation and notoriety?
Of course there is. The Telegraph has standards. It won't publish embarrassing or negative stories about its proprietor, his family or his business interests. And it's unlikely to publish -- for purely commercial reasons -- anything its readers would consider un-Australian or seditious.
Beyond that, as it demonstrated last Thursday with its seedy story naming and shaming a well-known singer who allegedly had sex with Australian soldiers in Afghanistan, according to a totally unsubstantiated Australian Army report, there is no cesspit too deep for the Telegraph's toxic journalism du jour to reach.
The Daily Telegraph is in trouble. Its audited weekday circulation is falling -- down from 406,000 in 2002 to the most recent audit of 366,000 and, apparently, still falling. If it is not yet a failing newspaper, it is a flailing newspaper. Handling issues of editorial integrity are minor. Getting talked about is everything.
Surely it is time for News Limited's chief John Hartigan, himself an old Telegraph hand, to step in and put a lid on the sewer."
Personally I think Tim fits in perfectly.
Dilemma.
An anonymous comment having a go at Tim Blair because The Daily Telegraph is a sleazy paper.
Gutless/Anonymous, it's not Tim Blair's newspaper.
I don't think the Zaetta thing should have been publicised, so I didn't read it.
Perhaps you should try some self-censorship?
Hey Kae,
the anonymous blogger has also left exactly the same comment at missred's site.
He's probably cut and pasted it onto as many sites and blogs as he can.
What a sad bastard. heheheheheh
you know Kae, this anonymous blogger is spreading his/her germs around?
I thought there was a law stating that "if you had a communicable disease, that you had to inform every person you tried to screw".
I don't think this person's too good at the "communicating" though.
LMAO!!!!

Congratulations, kae. Some troll thinks you're important enough to dump his droppings on. It's not like anyone's going to read any blog he sets up so he comes here to Spread teh Narrative.
Hey everyone,
the "cut and paste" troll, is called PHIL.
Everytime I see the word troll I think of Edvard Grieg - March Of The Trolls
The dilemma I mentioned above was whether to delete the troll or leave it.
I thought that he might provide some sport for visitors looking for some troll slapping.
I think that might be the policy.
Kae,
while ever the troll remains polite, leave him. It's fun baiting them. It's when they get nasty and vicious and descend into vulgarity that it's time to wipe them.
Bastard troll hasn't paid me a visit.
I feel so lost and alone. Why do the newbies get all the fun?
Sorry, Boy.
I didn't mean to have all the fun.
Kae
I have had a look at why Tim's site has our PC's running like poo. Explanation for non-technical old people posted here:
http://boy-on-a-bike.blogspot.com/2008/05/which-blair-project.html
Boy, thanks... but I'm SURE pooh runs faster.
Anonymous is watching us on Paco's site too.
Must be a voyeur. NTTIAWWT
Anonymous seems to be arguing with himself over at margosmaid
And Bryla arguing with himself at new Tim.
Better lay off the Indian food then.
Oh, my goodness, gracious me. I think I am melting!
Stack, I think that might be a different Anonymous at Margo's.
Hmm, just tried something.
Yay, it worked.
Capital punishment is the right of the victim's family to exact justice. Not a deterent or any of the other leftie arguments.
This prick should swing. Throwing the key away is the least the judge can enforce.
Kay you're not orderly on that bike. Great blog. All the best. Mehaul
skeeter
These Anonymouses all write the same it seems.
kae Yay, Yay, Yay.
Hey, skeets, look what I did, but I had to load it from my computer...
Kae
Here are some instructions on how to go nuts with your settings:

Haw! Stacks, from now on, whenever I see a troll at work, I'll think of that perfectly appropriate tune.
Oh Kae, you've convinced me.
Skeets,
Love your ava, er, avi, ID Pic!
It is you, innit? he he
Boy,
Thanks for the destructions.
Thanks Kae. Yeah, it's me, but there have been some significant changes since it was taken in 1953.
Not much chance of it blowing my cover.
