This is a photo of Amy Bowden celebrating her last birthday before she was killed. She turns 29 today. Her family and friends will mourn her just a little more today, knowing she will be forever 26 years old.
Amy died following an incident at her home in Redwood Park, South Australia, on February 8, 2024. Officially, Amyโ€™s partner Ethan Lenny George Ross injected her with methamphetamine in an attempt to reverse a heroin overdose.
Ross did not call an ambulance. Had he dialed 000, she would most likely be alive.
Ross was not charged with causing Amyโ€™s death but he was convicted for not getting her help.
He was sentenced to nine months and โ€“ due to time served โ€“ will be eligible for release on May 3.
Amy’s mum Michelle Sposito is hopeful the Department of Prosecutions will consider a charge of manslaughter.
Michelle is campaigning to change the law in South Australia so people who do not dial 000 face much harsher sentences than that handed to Amyโ€™s partner.
Amyโ€™s Law would also see legislation around duty of care re-evaluated.
cuty of care in South Australia applies between an adult and a child and a carer to an elderly infirm or person with disability.
โ€œIt does not apply between partner to partner, which I think is beyond belief,โ€ Michelle says.
We need an extension of duty of care to ensure innocent victims like my daughter get appropriate justice.”
