The courtroom was packed with Pippa’s family and friends who travelled to Sydney for the inquest. Outside court, Ms White described them as “Pip’s army”. “We are all equally broken, shattered,” she said. “A life sentence – one without the chance of parole – that’s what life is like for grieving families.”
