What little kid doesn’t want their Dad to take them to the shop and get them a kinder surprise?

That’s what Ramazan Acar told his ex partner Rachelle D’Argent in November 2010, when he turned up at her Melbourne home, breaking yet another intervention order that she had taken out against him. He just wanted to take his daughter to the little shop down the road and get her a treat.

But Yazmina Acar would never return from that trip with her dad. Angry and upset over his perception that he was being wronged by his ex, Acar took the innocent little girl, just a few days shy of her third birthday, and ran. What happened next will haunt Rachelle for the rest of her life.
