The Murder of Sheree by Wayne Miller

"Forgive me Lord for the terrible things I've done. Please look after this life...and I'll speak to you later about it Lord."

These are the chilling words Robert Lowe uttered immediately after murdering six-year-old Sheree Beasley on a sleepy Saturday afternoon in the coastal holiday hamlet of Rosebud.

That one sentence shows Lowe knew what he had done. It also shows his arrogance where he can even put God on hold. Sheree's family, and to a lesser extent the rest of the community, were plunged into despair and grief by the senseless and sickening death.

Wayne Miller's book is much more than just a true-life crime book. It takes you inside the horror of events as they unfolded that Saturday and the weeks and months it took to track down Robert Lowe.

Wayne Miller is an exceptional writer. His reporting on the Sheree Beasley murder already has won him the highest award for journalistic excellence - a Walkley. Wayne has been a top police reporter for seven years and before that, a policeman for 13 years in the Victoria Police.
