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.'

New York City public school teachers have asked the Supreme Court for an emergency order to block Mayor Bill de Blasio's COVID-19 vaccine mandate from going into effect Friday.  The group of four teachers sent a petition to Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor arguing that the mandate not only places an 'unconstitutional burden' on the city's 148,000 school workers, but also 'threatens the education of thousands of children.'  The petition argues that their rights are being violated because they do not have the option to undergo regular COVID-19 testing instead of getting the shot. Other essential workers - including NYPD cops - have been given that testing option instead. Teachers across all public schools in the Big Apple have up until 5pm Friday to get vaccinated against COVID-19 or risk losing their jobs.  When the school day starts the following Monday - October 4 - all teachers and staff arriving for work across the city's public schools must have rec...
