Media reports have emerged recently about the tragic incident at the popular tourist spot Whispering Wall in the Barossa Valley, where a man and a baby died. Witnesses, including children, watched them fall, and at first it seemed like a horrific accident.
But as the story unfolded, police began to suspect a murder/suicide.
The man, Henry Shepherdson, died on impact, his 9-month old baby girl died shortly after, despite the best efforts of paramedics to save her.
Unfortunately, it is just the latest story about family violence and a broken system.
This time, a little girl dead before her first birthday.
