This happened 1 km from my home… I am glad they are found guilty, and I hope they are guests of Correctional Services for a long, long time!
Wow, so you (the community) would probably have “felt” it a lot more than we did! Yes, definitely I hope they get life on this one!
He lived right across the road from a very good friend of mine, they were at the wedding, and their daughter took the wedding photos. You would not believe how sincere he sounded on his wedding speech at the reception- I saw the video. My kids knew Conrad Bonnette, this is a small community… so I really hope he gets what he deserves…
That is shocking. I am always dumbfounded by how these monsters are able to deceive people into believing they are something which they are not. I knew someone like that once and shudder at the thought of him!
