anita cobby as welle as janine balding... not to be forgotten.

form spain, all my loving to her familly and hope the killers will suffer at least the same as they made her suffer. an eye for an eye.....

just to hear Anita's name all these years later still breaks my heart. I lived just streets away, and I'm the same age, and I used to walk Newton Road...God only takes the best. Rest in peace Anita.

My heart goes out to you and your family Anita. May you rest in peace darling and may these bastards get the treatment they gave you behind bars. My thoughts are always with you even though I did not know you. I have two daughters of my own and I can imagine the pain and suffering your family has endured over the years without you. You are now in God's care.

R.I.P Anita, when i read the artical, i was in shock what the murderer have done to this young ladies. May God Bless your family with peace and the justice will come after those murderer when they die.

don' call anita cobbys killers animals or creatures that is an insult to animals and creatures anita cobbys killers are garbage if i had my way i would cremate them alive and then i would put their ashes in a card board box then i would go to the closest tip and then i would mix their ashes in with the garbage and that is what you call JUSTICE anita cobbys killers should be bashed up every day

I became aware of this crime some years ago and felt so sad at the breathtaking level of cruelty bestowed upon what must have been a terrified and helpless young woman. I hope that those despicable creatures suffer the same level of pain and fear that Anita did and for at least as long as endured by her parents and family. God bless you Anita

Bless you Anita and your friends. My only hope is that these animals are never ever released. You at least deserve that.

I remember this terrible day. You suffered so much. May god bless you and your parents with peace. Australia will not forget.

The only one who could forgive those animals is GOD himself. I will never forget the day the news broke about your horrific murder. My heart broke for your poor parents and what they had to go through. They are truley wonderful, dignified people. May you rest in peace Anita, you will never be forgotten. A beautiful young lady, gone too soon.

Your name is linked forever with that terrible crime - every time I think of u and what u went thru I feel so sad - those animals have to be the most hated men in Australia - just wanted u to know that all these years later - we remember u <3

God Bless You Anita. A true angel and never to be forgotton x

I remember how this shocked and outraged the nation ... there were petitions to have the death penalty reinstated ... this sort of crime was not common in Australia. It was a horrific thing .... And even now, reading the story again, it is still a horrific thing for a young woman to have had to endure, and makes me cringe. I am so glad the Judge added 'never to be released' to the life sentences of those animals. It seems now though that we have lost that shock and outrage. Are we immune to the atrocities now ? Bring back Judges who found crimes such as these worthy of non release life sentences.

I still remember that horrible day back in 1986 when the news of your horrific death had broken. It was something that no human could comprehend at the time or even today. The malicious cold hearted and unneccessary acts of these 5 spineless poor excuses for human beings was just too unthinkable. I only hope that you have found peace in heaven with the angels and know that you will never be forgotten........Lyn, Seaford

In gods keeping Safe from any evil doers.RIP forever with Gods angels As you are now safe from harm Our special thoughts and love are always with you forever....they will remain

RIP Dear Anita We all wished we could of been there to help you But we werent We are all So sorry .If only we would of known on that dreadful night . God has you in his keeping we have you in our hearts forever.

i cired as i read this horibble story of a beauitful young woman you r in heaven now ....and the rest live it to god to take care of those who do bad things to good peolpe ...you r with angels now smiling god bless your soul anita

I never knew you, but I read about what had happened to you a few years ago. I was absolutely horrified and heartbroken. I cried for you. I can not comprehend what kind of creatures could do this to a fellow human being. They are monsters. I know that you are now being cared for by God's Angels, and I hope one day to have the honour of meeting you. God bless you beautiful girl. From Lorraine, from London, England.

Por que no:)

I remember this happening, however I have just read "someone else's daughter" - I cant believe human beings would carry this out on someone so beautiful and innocent, I have felt physically sick at times reading - Mr Lynch is quoted as saying "thank god she didnt live through it" and he is so right, Anita is an angel in a far more peaceful world

Não serve de muito o meu comentário, apenas desjo manifestar a dor que sinto quando ouço o trágico destino que teve Anita Cobby. Desejo que a sua alma descanse em paz no seio do nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo e que, seja quem for que tenha praticado este acto tão cruel, possa pagá-lo com juros. Doce e linda Anita.....Paz à sua alma. RIP Anita

I Remember that faithful day I was driving home from work and passed near by where it happened. I cannot remember if it was before or after. But it hurt to know that those people showed no mercy on you, put you through so much pain, with no one to help. i think of you often and feel the pain your parents went through hearing what happened to you. They must have been strong people for I would have killed them all if it was one of my children. My you rest in peace you beautiful lady. may your killers never find peace may they never know a single day of happiness. What happened to you they should have had the same treatment less the death so they could feel all the pain you suffered on that terrible day. My only wish for those men is they die a painful death, for I will have no mercy on their souls. R.I.P. you beautiful lady

I will never forget this crime on such a beautiful girl and family. I have a young family and I couldn't imagine the pain and anguish you all must of went through I hope you all get to meet again one day. Lots of love Sam

Nerralie, may I suggest you read "Someone Else's Daughter" - Julia Sheppard. It covers Anita's early life, the murder & trial. It is quite blunt about the circumstances, but important reading for us to understand what she went through & it makes a statement that it should never happen again.

I think of you often. In a debate for the death penalty at school in 1992 i discussed what happened to you the class were rendered to tears the teacher too. I will never forget youxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Rest In Peace Anita. May those monsters who took your precious life away rot in hell. My heart goes out to your family Xo

Rest

Anita, I have heard your story many times and Each time I always cry. May the angels hold you tight in their arms. Rest in peace, beautiful child, x

rest in peace beautiful girl

Very rarely a day will go by when i don't think about you Anita ...RIP ..

Hi Anita. You died two years before I was born. I've read a lot of stories about murder, but none have shaken me as much as yours. I live in a small town and used to walk home at night, but now I take a taxi. There hasn't been a day in the past two years that I haven't thought of you. I can't even begin to imagine what was going through your mind. I'm not sure if there is anything after we die, but I hope you found peace somehow, and your father too. I didn't know you Anita, but you are in my heart forever.

Rest in peace sweet angel and may those poor excuses for men rot in hell for all they done to you!! You were a wonderful, strong women who did not deserve to die! hope to meet you on the other side one of these days :) Till then, continue to rest in peace...your forever in my prayers......Luv ya xoxo
