In August 1993 Jeffrey Gilham was accused of killing his parents. Gilham has always maintained it was his older brother Christopher who stabbed their parents and set their bodies on fire in their Southern Sydney home in August 1993 - and that he subsequently wrestled the knife from Christopher and killed him in a fit of rage having discovered what he had done. It took fifteen years, two coronial inquiries, a Channel Nine Sixty Minutes investigation, and three trials in court for a jury to find Jeffrey Gilham guilty of murder of all three of his family. In March 2009 he was sentenced to life in prison. On 2 December 2011 Gilham's conviction was quashed by the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal. On June 25 2012 the NSW Court of Criminal Appeal acquitted Jeffrey Gilham in a 2-1 verdict from the 3 judges.
