The tragic events that occurred in Perth have left the community in a state of shock and mourning. It was a senseless act of violence that took the lives of two innocent women, Jennifer Petelczyc and her daughter Gretl. The perpetrator was identified as Mark Bombara, who was the ex-husband of Jennifer's best friend and neighbor. Mark's daughter, Ariel Bombara, has recently come forward to share her side of the story and shed light on the events leading up to the double murder.
Ariel reveals that she and her mother had been living in fear for quite some time, as they were victims of domestic abuse at the hands of Mark. In the days leading up to the tragedy, they had reached out to the police for help on multiple occasions. They had informed the authorities about Mark's gun collection and expressed their concerns about their safety. Unfortunately, their pleas were ignored by five different male officers on three separate occasions.
Despite their efforts to seek help, the police did not take any action to protect them or remove the firearms from Mark's possession. In fact, during one of their encounters with the police, they were told that there was nothing they could do at that time. This left Ariel and her mother feeling completely helpless and vulnerable. They were even denied a temporary restraining order against Mark, which could have potentially prevented the tragic events from occurring.
Ariel explains that their fear was not unfounded, as Mark had a history of violence and had previously threatened them with his guns. On the day of the incident, they were forced to flee their family home and seek refuge elsewhere. Despite their efforts to stay safe, Mark was able to track them down and commit the heinous act of taking the lives of two innocent women.
Ariel firmly believes that even if Mark did not have access to firearms, he would have found other means to carry out this horrific act. She wants to make it clear that the root cause of this tragedy was domestic violence and not the presence of guns. She also expresses her disappointment with the police's response and their failure to protect them, despite being fully aware of the situation.
In response to Ariel's claims, Police Commissioner Col Blanch has promised a thorough internal investigation to determine the actions taken by the police in this case. He also reassured the community that victims of domestic violence should not hesitate to seek help from the authorities, as they have the power to remove firearms from the accused.
In conclusion, Ariel shares her heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Jennifer and Gretl Petelczyc. She also urges anyone who may be experiencing domestic violence to seek support from organizations such as Lifeline or Beyond Blue. The tragedies that occurred could have potentially been prevented if proper measures were taken by the authorities, and Ariel hopes that her story will bring about change and prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
