Inside the farm where schoolgirl, 14, is accused of murdering her 10-year-old cousin in scenes so gruesome we can't tell you the details as it sells for $6million

A rural farm where a teenager is accused of murdering her 10-year-old cousin in a gruesome case that shocked Australia has sold for more than $6 million.

The schoolgirl was 14-years-old when she is alleged to have stabbed her relative while she was staying on the property in rural northern NSW, on July 8 last year.

The older girl's mother discovered the younger cousin with injuries so gruesome they cannot be published. 

Her alleged killer was found on a neighbouring property, dazed and confused with the murder weapon allegedly still in her hands. 

Six months later, her family put the 291-hectare farm up for sale.

Records show the property, which includes a six-bedroom home, recently sold for $6.3 million.

The teenager accused of the killing is listed to go on trial for murder in November. 

Her request to plead guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter was rejected. 

The older girl's mother discovered the younger cousin after returning from doing chores on the farm.

The alleged killer was later found on a neighbouring property, dazed and confused, having walked 3km across a wheat field with the alleged murder weapon allegedly still in her hand. 

Her defence barrister will argue the teenager was mentally impaired at the time of the alleged attack.

A social media post by the alleged victim's father last year displayed a tattoo of a cherry blossom on his upper arm as a tribute to a drawing made by his daughter, who was a talented artist.

'Cherry blossom tattoos are a metaphor for the transience of life because they do not live for very long,' the father wrote in his post.

'They are considered to be omens of good things to come. The blossoms serve as emblems for affection and love.'

'Fly high, my angel.'

Hiring the right people starts with having the right recruiting model in place.

Do you think you have what it takes to be a model?  Having the right look is inherited genetically, and is definitely a big factor in having a successful career. However, the other part of modeling and arguably the most important, is knowing how market a product in a way that pleases both clients and photographers. Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Iman, Gigi Hadid. These are the names of just a few famous models that have graced beauty magazine covers and strutted down catwalks. The job description of a model varies by the type of modeling job you are hired for. However, all models must keep an up-to-date portfolio of their work to include photos of themselves via composite cards. This is necessary as potential clients or modeling agencies may sift through portfolios and composite cards before inviting a model to audition. The composite card would also include their body measurements. Some models specialize in showcasing one of their body parts, such as a hand or foot. There are also fit...

The Texas abortion ban sends mixed signals about the future of Roe v. Wade.

Legal experts say it is still unclear how the Supreme Court will rule on long-standing abortion guarantees, which it plans to review later this year. Despite uproar from activist organizations that see the move as a de facto departure from the 1973 ruling, the Supreme Court's failure to act on Texas's near-total abortion ban does not necessarily mean Roe v. Wade is dead. Legal experts say it is unclear how the Supreme Court will rule on long-standing guarantees for abortion, which it plans to review later this year when it hears a direct appeal against this important ruling. Texas' first-of-its-kind law allows individuals, not the government, to impose a six-week ban on abortion and file lawsuits against health professionals or anyone who helps someone get an abortion. Clinics and other potential claimants will find it more difficult to establish their position in court or to determine a specific target for satisfying claims due to the unusual enforcement mechanism.

The Taliban's medieval justice: The corpses of three 'criminals' are hoisted from diggers in Herat after they 'invaded another man's home and tried to rob him' in Afghanistan

The bodies of three alleged criminals were hung from diggers in Afghanistan by the Taliban, harrowing pictures released today show. According to deputy governor Mawlawi Shir Ahmad Muhajir, the three men were killed by another man when they entered his home in Obe district in Herat province. In the graphic images shared on social media, the corpses are shown publicly hoisted into the air and hanging by their necks from the raised arms of two diggers as people below watch on and take photographs. Tuesday's gruesome publicly display is yet another example of the kind of practices that feed international concern that the Taliban have returned to their brutal ways last seen when they were in control of Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. This is despite the Taliban frequently insisting to the world that it has changed from the hard-line Islamic group that doled out brutal punishments to criminals and greatly restricted the rights of the country's citizens, particularly women and girls.
