Dad steals place in the heart transplant case
A Melbourne man, Robert Edward Matthews, pleaded not guilty to armed robbery and related charges for taking about 1951 Canadian dollars from a McDonald’s in Collingwood on Dec 13. He said he acted to pay for his five-year-old daughter Brooke’s heart and lung transplant in London, where she recently received organs from a three-year-old donor. He cited strain and government funding limits as his motive and noted he had not seen Brooke in months.
