A convicted murderer who stabbed his parents and teenage sister to death in their home so he could access their $1.2million estate is seeking a royal pardon on the 20th anniversary of their deaths.
Sef Gonzales killed his father Teodoro Teddy Gonzales, 46, his mother Mary Loiva Gonzales, 43, and his sister Clodine Gonzales, 18, at their North Ryde home, in northern Sydney, on July 10 in 2001.
Gonzales was sentenced to three life terms without parole in 2004, becoming one of the youngest lifers to serve in an Australian prison at the age of 20.
He has repeatedly appealed his conviction, maintaining his innocence, though his three bids for freedom have all been knocked back by the NSW Supreme Court.
