Just the following year, a full bench of the WA Supreme Court ruled that Mitchell will never be released from prison. The WA director of public prosecutions had appealed against the original sentence and in a vote, they ordered that he spend the rest of his life behind bars. He would be the first West Australian to be sentenced to true life imprisonment under the stronger laws. Then just three years later, Australia would be horrified to learn that Mitchell had been downgraded to a medium-security prisoner and moved to a regional jail.
Fear swept over the community that this indicated that Mitchell was being prepared to be released back into the community. Before the hearing was scheduled, there was an online petition opposing his release which garnered over signatures. The petition had been arranged by a childhood friend of Amara.
It would be his decision whether Mitchell would be released or not. Ultimately, he would decide that Mitchell could not be released from prison. In , Mitchell was up for parole once more. By this point, there was an online petition opposing his release which had garnered over 18, signatures. They were very happy little girls who adored their mum and brother. They had beautiful smiles and had the innocence of life stolen from them in a most barbaric way.
I cannot ever forget the way in which they died. Children are so defenceless and pure of heart, I do not understand how anyone with any sense of right or wrong could do what was done to them.
My nephew Danny was a real rascal but he had a heart of gold. He would never have let his Mum or sisters get hurt if he could help it. He was a strong young man and was over six-foot tall. If he had known what was going to happen to him when he went outside that night to see who had driven up their driveway he would have fought with all his might to protect his family.
I donot think though such photos should be available to the general public as there are so many sickos out there. I lived not far from Greenough when these murders happened.
I also new a police officer who attended the crime scene it was so horrific that he has left police force and is still dealing with this. I hope this low life slowly rots in jail. I drive past the Greenough house often and still feel a darkness about the house. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment.

Posted May 5, I definately agree with what you said alwaysseatching. Radian Posted May 5, Elfstone Posted May 5, Posted October 20, Katya Posted October 20, She kept ringing back and it was sometimes engaged. Something was wrong. These were the days before mobile phones and online news, so she and Graeme recorded the television news when they went out.
They returned and watched a report which gave few details other than there had been four shocking murders. There was nothing in the report that gave her reason to believe it was her family, but somehow she knew it was them. Mr Clow called police and stood with his back to her as he spoke to them. She walked around so she could see his face and saw him crying. Such a horrific loss was almost unbearable. Mr Mischin said at the time his decision was based not just on the seriousness of the crime but also a need to protect the community.
But state law requires the case to be reviewed every three years. And any slight chance he could be freed is what keeps Ms Clow up at night. He lived with his five brothers and sisters and parents in poverty.
His old clothes and dirtiness made him a popular target, The West Australian reported. But no one imagined him going on to become such a monster. The turning point may have been when his mother died when he was Others remembered him as having few friends. He rarely played with other children and often went straight home after school. Ms Clow will mark the anniversary today by going to the beach. It calms me. Both she and her husband have had a hard time dealing with the murders and the loss of one of their daughters.
She has had counselling in the hope it will help her deal with her anxiety over knowing Mitchell could one day be free.
