Rachel Kefu is plagued by vivid images of her Wallabies star husband and her son bleeding after teenagers armed with a cane-cutting sickle broke into their home.
August 16 had been a special day for her family: in 2003 Toutai Kefu played his 60th rugby union Test match for Australia and their daughter Madison was born.But 18 years later it was the date of a real-life nightmare, Mrs Kefu said.
During the struggle that followed Kefu was stabbed in the torso, their son Joshua was cut as he tried to intervene and daughter Madison was also injured. “I constantly experience flashbacks of the crime and I am still plagued by the graphic memories of my family fighting for lives, to survive, that night,” she told the court.For a moment during the attack she thought her son and husband were fatally injured, she said.
