Coronavirus concern results in great-grandfather’s release
By MELISSA IARIA, AAP
A “RECKLESS” great-grandfather who shot his daughter in the forehead at close range will be freed after a Victorian judge said his age made him vulnerable to coronavirus in jail. Rodney Madex, 69, shot his daughter Tammy, then 44, at his Glengarry North home in January 2019. He had been drinking beer at the pub
and when he returned home, they drank alcohol together and got into minor disagreements. “There’s only one big problem and it’s me. Get a gun and a bullet to fix it,” she had said. Madex replied: “If you want it so bad, I’ll do it for you,” and fired a sawn-off rifle from one-to-two metres away, hitting the right side of her forehead. His daughter needed surgery to
remove 30 pellets from her skull and suffers scarring and numbness. Madex explained he wanted to scare his daughter and stop her self-harming. Supreme Court Justice Rita Incerti described his actions as “extraordinarily reckless”. “You had the capacity to kill your daughter with the slightest move of the gun,” she said on Thursday. “It is remarkable Tammy did not
sustain a serious permanent injury or death.” Afterwards, a distressed Madex contacted other family members, telling them he had shot Tammy and to call an ambulance. The court heard the father-of-four had been dealing with unresolved grief from the death of his wife of over 40 years and drank more to cope. Continued on page 2
