## Resource

A nine-month-old girl, Kobi, was murdered by her father, Henry Shepherdson, at a South Australian tourist spot on the same day a court order allowing him contact with her was changed. The acting Deputy State Coroner, Ian White, revealed systemic failures by government departments that failed to protect Kobi before her death. Shepherdson died at the scene in a public murder-suicide, having previously exerted coercive control over Kobi’s mother — making 149 calls to her from prison to pressure her into dropping charges, unbeknownst to authorities. The coroner issued urgent recommendations to South Australia, urging reforms to domestic violence protections and prisoner phone services to prevent future tragedies and safeguard vulnerable victims.
