Anthony Waterlow left his decrepit, rubbish-filled room in a
run-down boarding house at 4.45 pm on Monday 11 November 2009. By 6
pm, the 42-year-old was seen leaving another home: his sister
Chloe's in Randwick. He left behind her slaughtered body and that
of their father; celebrated art curator Nick Waterlow. The pair had
been stabbed multiple times, in front of Chloe's three young
children. The Waterlow Tragedy delves beneath the public face of a
successful and affluent family, to reveal the secrets and tensions
that many of their closest friends could not have guessed. The
story takes us deep into the world of musical, literary and visual
artists who defy conventionality, push boundaries and become
international celebrities. But behind that apparently glamorous
life of the Waterlows - with British aristocratic blood lines and
Nick's art world fame -- lay a story of love, despair and torment.
Anthony Waterlow's descent into the pits of a mental darkness began
at a young age. Like too many of the mentally ill, he fell through
the cracks. The Waterlow Tragedy ultimately highlights the issues
that confront families coping with mental illness and the failings
of the health systems in times of need. The confronting story
raises complex medical, legal, social and ethical dilemmas and
questions that defy answers.
