Why would people stuck in a sinking car turn off the heater, ignition or headlights?
Add articles to your saved list and come back to them any time.When Robert Farquharson’s car was dragged from a dam near Winchelsea on the night his three sons drowned, police noticed something strange – the headlights, ignition and fan on the heater were all switched off.
At Farquharson’s first trial in 2007, prosecutor Jeremy Rapke suggested it was incriminating evidence. “When you and your family are drowning, you might think that the condition of the ignition switch and the headlights will be the last thing you’d have on your mind,” he said. The men were on a training course that was described in a subsequent military commission of inquiry as being for “senior, experienced soldiers”. On the Saturday night, five soldiers went in two hire cars to the pub for a drink.
The two key investigating officers who attended the SAS soldiers’ crash, from Victoria Police’s major collision investigation unit – Senior Constable Glen Urquhart and Sergeant Brad Peters – had also investigated the Farquharson case.Nine
