Jack and Jennifer Edwards were shot dead by 67-year-old John Edwards who then took his own life. They were killed at the West Pennant Hills home they shared with their mother Olga Edwards who five months later took her own life.
However, when O'Sullivan was told about new evidence which proved that the police mistakes were not isolated, her office falsely claimed that she did not have the power to reopen the case.
Under the legislation O’Sullivan does have the power to reopen the case to consider new evidence, which proves the abuse of women by NSW police officers is a common occurrence. The evidence also proves that the abuse is covered up by senior NSW police officers.
Since O’Sullivan found the police had made mistakes, she was obligated to investigate whether the officers themselves were responsible, or whether there are deeper systemic problems that caused the mistakes.
O’Sullivan has been contacted repeatedly about the false claims by her office but she has not responded. It is incomprehensible for the NSW Coroner to ignore this matter.

Dismissal of NSW Coroner Teresa O'Sullivan
NSW State Coroner Teresa O’Sullivan was in tears when she found that mistakes by the NSW Police contributed to the deaths of two children who were shot and killed by their father in their Sydney home in 2018.
When O'Sullivan was told about new evidence which proved that the police mistakes were not isolated, her office falsely claimed that she did not have the power to reopen the case.
