If you were in Australia in the mid noughties, you’ll probably remember the Robert Farquharson case. 

He was the dad who drove his three sons into a dam on Father’s Day in 2005, supposedly in an act of revenge against his ex-wife.

Faquaruason infamously got out of the car, his three boys did not and drowned. 

A new joint investigation between 60 Minutes, The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald has uncovered new scientific evidence which raises serious questions about what really happened that day. 

Nine Papers investigative reporter, Nick Mckenzie, joins Luke Grant to chat about what experts are saying might have happened that day and if the new evidence is strong enough to warrant a potential re-trial.

You can watch Nick McKenzie’s tantalising report on Channel 9’s 60 Minutes on Sunday 2 June at 8pm.
