Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Robert Donald William Farquharson (born 1969) is an Australian man convicted of murdering his three sons on Father's Day in 2005 by driving them into a farm dam. He was convicted in an earlier trial. However, Farquharson maintained his innocence and appealed his sentence. On December 17, 2009, he won the right to a retrial, due in part to the key witness for the prosecution, Greg King, facing potential criminal charges himself at the time of the original trial. He was released on bail on 21 December, but was again convicted of murder on the 22nd of July, 2010. Farquharson met his future wife, Cindy Gambino, in February 1990. In 1996, he took a redundancy package from his employer and bought a lawn-mowing franchise servicing his local area, a venture that lost him AUD$40,000.
