The fate of a prisoner is being considered by a parole board more than two decades after he was convicted of assaulting Lauren Huxley, dousing her in petrol and leaving her for dead.
Ms Huxley was 18 in November 2005 when 39-year-old Robert Black Farmer entered her home in Northmead, in western Sydney.
He bound and beat her then doused her in petrol, leaving her in a pool of blood and petrol as he set the property alight.
