Episode 129 - Jenni's Story

Jenni Robertson and her daughter Melinda De Groot join Jack to discuss grief, and profound loss surrounding the death of Jenni's son, Troy.

Troy died on the family property at nine years of age in 1987. Jenni has always harboured doubts about the circumstances of Troy's death. Troy may have died due to an accident but was his death a case of negligence or something much worse?

New information has come to hand and Troy's death is now the subject of a renewed police investigation as a result.

Troy's death occurred on a family property where harness racing was the central focus. At the time of Troy's death, the harness racing industry was replete with corruption and race fixing.

Troy died just weeks after his father, Robert and Jenni received death threats in relation to the performance of one of Robert's horses.

Was Troy the victim of a crime aimed at his father?
