Beauty Queen Murder: Nurse Anita Cobby

A beauty queen of 1979, Anita Cobby was named Miss Western Suburbs of Sydney in the Miss Australia quest. Seven years later, when Anita was 26 years old, she was abducted from the western Sydney suburb of Blacktown, tortured, raped and murdered in a cow paddock at nearby Prospect, on the evening of the 2nd of February, 1986. Five men, including three brothers, were convicted of her murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, never to be released, without any possibility of parole. Sister Anita Cobby’s fingers, that had so tenderly ministered to her patients, were broken, her bones dislocated, her nose and cheekbones fractured in the shocking assault upon her. The horrifically cruel murder of this lovely young nurse, so kind and caring of her patients, caused so much outrage within Australia that tens of thousands of people subsequently campaigned for the reinstatement of capital punishment.
