❤️HER NAME IS LISA FENWICK!❤️
“If anything happens to me, believe I am of sound mind. I am fearful of Tony.”
Lisa Fenwick sent this message to her friend. Not long after her partner, Anthony Eriksen, killed her at her home Mascot, NSW. It was April 9, 2023. She was only 59.
Lisa sent the message to her friend because she wanted her fears for her safety on record.
To a different friend, she said: “Tony is acting quite strangely.”
Eriksen refused to get a job, placing immense financial and emotional burdens on Lisa.
She planned on leaving Eriksen and was actively seeking another place to live.
Lisa was “vulnerable and unable to break free from Eriksen”, the sentencing judge said after Erikson was convicted of her murder these past weeks.
Eriksen was jailed for 26.8 years and is eligible for parole after serving 20 years.
Lisa was the 15th Australian woman killed in 2023. That year, we lost 74 women to femicide. The toll of femicide has continued to rise higher with each passing year.
Eriksen’s violence against Lisa was so brutal, her mum was unable to view Lisa’s body.
“Lisa was a clever, smart, creative, wise and intelligent person who was beautiful and lovely,” her close friend Denise told media after the sentencing.
“Men who are unable to control themselves, they’ve got to learn, we need to teach our young men to control and regulate their emotions, to be able to discuss what’s going on, to get over that sense that they need to have power and control over the women,” Denise said.
“These men have got to learn to control themselves.”
