The father, mother and a brother of a young woman who was held down and repeatedly stabbed in a suburban Adelaide car park have been jailed for the 'attempted honour killing'.
Family members of a young woman who was held down and stabbed for dating a man of a different faith have been sentenced for their roles in the incident outside Sefton Plaza Shopping Centre.
The 21-year-old woman — whose identity is suppressed — suffered significant internal injuries after being stabbed repeatedly in the abdomen with a large kitchen knife by her father at the Sefton Plaza Shopping Centre car park in November 2021.In the Supreme Court on Monday, Justice Sandi McDonald said the victim's mother and sister held her down as her father stabbed her, before she was driven to the family home by her eldest brother and put into the shower, where she bled profusely.
"You displayed a complete disregard for the law and for your daughter's most basic human rights," Justice McDonald told him. "Your conduct set the wheels in motion that led up to a plan to physically manhandle your daughter into a car and abduct her in a public place in broad daylight," she said. The younger brother — who was not involved in the stabbing but helped track down the victim in the weeks prior — also received a suspended sentence on the condition of a good behaviour bond.
