Notes  

In March 2020, when the world was going into COVID lockdown, Kelly Fitzgibbons and her two children Ava and Lexi were shot and killed by the person who should have loved and protected them the most – partner and father Robert Needham, who then killed the family dog and took his own life. Having lied on his application for a shotgun and with Kelly wanting to take a break from their relationship Needham took a final act of control over his whole family.
