    Natalie Wolfe’s media report on the guilty plea of Rick Thorburn over the murder of his 12-year-old step-daughter Tiahleigh Palmer was published on the 19th of March 2018 on news.com.au under the title ‘Tiahleigh Palmer: Rick Thorburn to plead guilty to schoolgirl’s murder’. This journalist used the news values; betrayal of trust, violence, moral clarity, and simplification in order to gather the attention of the public and engage the reader. The use of these news values is effective in being able to get the attention of and engage the public in this crime. The ‘Betrayal of Trust’ news value is less about the media report and more about the crime itself, though the media does have an impact on how it is portrayed. Natalie writes about the crime in a way that portrays Rick as a guardian that has taken advantage of his duty of care to the victim, Tiahleigh, by murdering her and leaving her body to be found on the edge of a river (Wolfe, 2018).

    On the morning of June 20, 2001, Andrea Yates murdered all five of her children by drowning them in her household’s bathtub while her husband was away.

Such voices can be explained by the psychodynamic perspective that Yates’ behavior of killing her children was a result of these unconscious voices that were demanding her to take such violent action. Growing obsessively religious over the years, Yates followed extreme Christian views presented by the
