Mikäli ohjelma jäi näkemättä, niin tässä muutama linkki alkajaisiksi. Ainakaan vielä ohjelmaa ei näy JIM:in nettisivulla, mutta tullee varmaan jossain vaiheessa sinnekin.

Kattavin ja lukijaystävällisin esitys tapauksesta lienee yleensäkin kuuluisten tapausten osalta (painottuu tosin vahvasti anglosaksiseen maailmaan) hyvin informatiivinen ja havainnollinen TruTV-sivusto:

Yllä siis alkusivu ja tarinaa jatkuu 13 sivun verran. Kuvaus Anitan viimeisistä hetkistä ei ole kovin hauskaa luettavaa, mutta kun tämä nyt kerran MURHAinfo on, niin lainattakoon tähän (s. 12):
Anita's Last Moments
Then Michael Murphy went berserk and raped, bashed and kicked Anita until she just lay on the ground, hardly conscious and breathing in gasps. Les Murphy gave Anita one final kick in the head before they decided that they had had enough.
They left their victim in the paddock and headed back to the car. But Travers wasn't happy. He claimed that Anita would be able to recognize all of them and she had heard them call each other by name. She had to die. "I'm going to go back and kill her," Travers said. "She'll never live to give us up. I'll slit her throat."
Rather than try and stop him, the gang urged Travers on. "Yeah, she'll see us all in the shit. Go on, go back and do it." Not needing much encouragement, Travers returned to Anita, sat on her back, lifted her head back by the hair and cut her throat. It was not unlike what he had done to the sheep in his backyard.
In his statement, Travers recalled that he thought he had cut Anita's throat twice. Forensic evidence indicated that he had. Travers left Anita Cobby lying semi-conscious in the paddock, bleeding to death with her head almost severed from her body.
When Travers returned to the car, he was covered in Anita Cobby's blood and boasted about what he had done. In his statement, Mick Murdoch said he asked Travers what it was like to kill someone. He replied: "It didn't feel like nothing. I didn't feel anything at all. They decided to return to Travers' mother's house and clean up. During the short trip, Travers went into great detail about the killing. They all laughed and told him how clever he was. Not one of the murderers had a twinge of conscience about what they had done. Rather, they joked about the night's events until they reached the house.
Eivät siis todellakaan mitään kovin sympaattisia tai empaattisia tyyppejä moraaliltaan ja asennemaailmaaltaan...
Ei liene yllättävää, ettei heille oikeudessakaan juuri ymmärtämystä herunut ja elinkautiset napsahtivat siis kaikille ja vielä ukaasilla, ettei ennen aikaista vapautusta kannata juuri toivoa (s. 13):Justice Maxwell then sentenced each man to life imprisonment and added: "The circumstances of the murder of Mrs Anita Lorraine Cobby prompt me to recommend that the official files of each prisoner should be clearly marked "never to be released."
Yleensä viilean asiallinen TruTV:n kerrontakin saa lopuksi jo vähän moraalista paatosta:
If the Executive deems it proper in the future to consider their files, then I would echo the advice proffered, in a case in which the facts were not entirely dissimilar, by a former and distinguished Chief Judge at Common Law, that the Executive should grant to the prisoners the same degree of mercy that they bestowed on Anita Lorraine Cobby in the Boiler Paddock, Prospect, on the night of the 2nd of February 1986.
I do not think that the community would expect otherwise.
John Raymond Travers, Michael James Murdoch, Leslie Joseph Murphy, Michael Patrick Murphy and Gary Steven Murphy are in maximum security in the toughest prisons throughout New South Wales. And there they will die.
They are never to be released.
Epäilemättä hyvin perusteltu ja varsin monen jakama näkemys...
Hyvä että laitoit, oli mun mielestä kaikessa karmeudessaan mielenkiintoinen jakso Austraalian rikostutkijoissa!
