Grieving brothers Luke and Ryan Hart: ‘Our mum and sister were our inspiration and purpose in life’

The two sons of Lance and Claire Hart have issued a statement following the inquest into the deaths of their parents and sister Charlotte. 

Luke and Ryan Hart said: “Charlotte and our mum were our inspiration and our purpose in life; they were the two most virtuous and beautiful people we have ever encountered.

“It is not possible to describe how unfairly and how cruelly they have been taken from us. Our world is a darker place because they have gone and we request that we may be left to grieve in peace and that our privacy is respected.

“We would just like to say thank you to the community for their support and thoughts, the police for their compassion in dealing with us and to family and close friends for helping us navigate our way through this difficult time.”
