Six days before expectant parents Sarah and Peter Milosevic were due to welcome their unborn daughter Sophie into the world a drugged up and drunk driver ploughed into their family car. Instead of bringing baby Sophie home to her already prepared nursery, Sarah lay in a hospital bed with a broken back clutching her dead daughter in her arms while Peter watched on with a broken neck. Sophie s death on that fateful day on August 29, 2014 was not recognised as murder or manslaughter or in any charge that ended in occasioning death ; instead she was listed as one of the many massive injuries Sarah suffered.
