Murder Victim. Janine lived in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia. She moved to Sydney and gained employment as a bank teller at a branch of the State Bank. She was due to marry boyfriend Steven Moran in March 1989. The couple had purchased a house in Berkeley Vale and were renting that house to help finance their wedding arrangements. Janine was abducted from Sutherland railway station (Sydney) by a group of homeless youths, consisting of four males, and one female. She was repeatedly raped by the male offenders, bludgeoned, then hog-tied and drowned in a dam at Minchinbury. In 2007, Elliott and another defendant were granted an additional appeal based on a missing staple in their files. It was argued, because the Crown indictment was not stapled to the court file, it was not "fixed" to the court file as required by law and the judgement was therefore not technically finalized. The High Court of Australia subsequently rejected this ground of appeal. Janine was 20 years old at the time of her death. A book "The Janine Balding Story" was authored by her Mother, Beverley Balding.
