Mental Health Order After Murder Verdict
Description
A man found not guilty by reason of mental illness for murdering Sheena Fairfield will spend decades in a Darwin prison mental health facility, with no release expected until at least 20 years later — and even then, only if deemed no longer a danger. His prognosis for recovery is bleak, while her grieving family, including her young daughter, mourn the loss of a vibrant mother and wife, blaming the killer’s obsession and rage. They demand a coronial probe, as the court acknowledges their enduring pain — and admits there’s no other option but long-term confinement.
