Not much is known Robert Farquharson’s life Behind the bars.
For almost two decades the father of three children, who was sentenced for the first time for killing his children Jai, 10, Tyler, 7 and Bailey, 2, in 2007, was in a protection unit within a maximum security prison, serving life imprisonment without a minimum term.
Each request that we made to the Victoria corrections to interview Farquharson was refused, with the only vision of his days per day together with serial killers and rapists who were given to him Farquharson’s sister, Carmen Rossand his proxy, Astrophysicist Chris Brook And the family friend Anne Irwin.
Brook, who lives in the Canary Islands of Spain, had not seen Farquharson from before Covid-19 until the end of February, when he entered the Barwon prison with questions we had given him. In this new bonus episode of Water testWe hear from Brook on what happened in the hour and a half was behind those high concrete walls near Geelong.

“This thing still passes in his head, and it is the most horrible thing that anyone can happen, losing their three children. And therefore I am only here to give some support and, hopefully, a little hope.”
We also heard the family friend Anne Irwin, who was one of the most tireless supporters of Farquharson and talks to him on the phone almost every day together with his monthly visits. The duo does not discuss much of the case, as it makes Farquharson anxious, especially with the danger of hope lurking.
