A coroner has chastised police at a murder-suicide inquest saying their submissions can be “read as victim-blaming” the infant victim’s mother. South Australian Deputy Coroner Ian White is inquiring into the deaths of nine-month-old Kobi Anastasia Isobel Shepherdson and Henry David Shepherdson, 38, at a dam north-east of Adelaide on April 21, 2021.
They died hours after a magistrates court granted a variation to a no-contact order to allow Shepherdson to care for Kobi while her mother was at an appointment.
