A violent and manipulative father killed himself and his infant daughter the same day a court allowed him access to her, an inquest has been told. South Australian Deputy Coroner Ian White opened an inquest on Tuesday into the deaths of nine-month-old Kobi Anastasia Isobel Shepherdson and Henry David Shepherdson, 38, at the Barossa Reservoir’s Whispering Wall, northeast of Adelaide, on April 21, 2021. Counsel assisting Martin Kirby said it was a murder-suicide that had shocked South Australians.
None of the calls were known to police, prosecutors, or the courts, and Hutchins was vulnerable, distressed and without family support nearby, Kirby said. In February 2021, she signed a form to have the charges withdrawn. Shepherdson was released from prison and in March, police found him hiding in Hutchins’ bathroom. He was returned to custody, and a week later, pleaded guilty to two counts of breaching the intervention order and was sentenced to six days in prison.
