Lost milestones, lasting burdens: Huxley tells
Bellinda Kontominas; 23/5/08
Travel meeting boys and nights out with friends are rites of passage in any young woman’s life. But Lauren Huxley has missed out on those crucial experiences, instead spending the past 2½ years recovering from the horrific injuries she sustained at the hands of Robert Farmer who bashed her repeatedly, doused her in petrol and set her house on fire as she lay semi-conscious in the garage of her Northmead home. Robert Black Farmer, 39, was last week found guilty of attempting to murder Ms Huxley, detaining her for advantage and damaging her home via fire. During the sentencing submissions in the Supreme Court yesterday, Ms Huxley’s older sister Simone read a victim impact statement Ms Huxley had written just days before.
