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.'

How Apple's lobbying machine defeated Georgia to win

When Apple tried this year to defeat two bills in Georgia, it sent lobbyists, threatened to shut down vital economic initiatives, and pushed the state attorney general to push for an amendment that suited Apple. The bill that seemed to garner the most support was stopped by the Georgia House Judiciary Committee two months later. During this year's legislative session, the committee chairman did not put the bill to a vote, effectively killing him in the lower house. Apple's unreported aggressive lobbying efforts in Georgia underline a model that has received little attention from government across the country this year: State lawmakers introduce bills that force Apple and its tech giant colleague Google to give up some control over their mobile phone application stores. Then Apple, in particular, puts great pressure on lawmakers with promises of economic investments or threats to withdraw its money, and the law has stalled.

The Delta-induced surge in the United States has entered a more dangerous phase, and that is dying is changing; Fauci recommends new treatment

As the FDA fully approved the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine on Monday, America's COVID-19 outbreak has reached a more dangerous stage. The number of cases is increasing in 42 states, in a maximum of six weeks. However, deaths are currently on the rise in 43 states, the worst since December, through America's deadliest month in a pandemic, according to a survey of Johns Hopkins University data by USA TODAY. In the week that ended Monday, 7,225 people died in the United States. In comparison, the Pearl Harbor and 9/11 attacks claimed the lives of approximately 5,400 Americans. The face of the dying changes rapidly. According to a study by the USA TODAY National Centers for Health Statistics, deaths are increasingly occurring among non-Hispanic whites. Most other racial and ethnic groups are now responsible for the decline in death rates, although non-Hispanic whites, who accounted for about 61.1% of all deaths during the epidemic, accounted for 68.8% of recorded deaths. in July and Aug

Girl, 6, who fell 120ft to her death on mine drop ride at Colorado amusement park was NOT buckled in and operators missed alarms

A six-year-old girl died after being ejected from her seat on a ride at a Colorado amusement part when the operators missed alarms.  Wongel Estifanos, of Colorado Springs, was riding the Haunted Mine Drop at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park in Colorado with her family when both operators missed her seatbelt that it was improperly buckled on September 5.  The ride, which drops passengers 120 feet, is equipped with a two belt seatbelt system - a neuro bar and a standard seatbelt - to keep riders safe. It is not equipped with a shoulder harness.  The Garfield County Coroner's Office said the little girl died from multiple blunt force injuries after being ejected from the ride because operators failed to notice that she was sitting on her seatbelts.  Wongel Estifanos, six, of Colorado Springs , was riding the Haunted Mine Drop at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park in Colorado when both operators missed her seatbelt being improperly buckled on September 5 The Haunted Mine Drop drops riders
