‘Death or prison’: Why Robert De Heredia faked his own murder
Two decades after he was accused of planting a parcel bomb outside the home of a Sydney bodybuilder and Kings Cross figure, Robert De Heredia has finally spoken as a free man. De Heredia was accused of leaving a handmade bomb outside Brett Boyd’s house in 1998 on Sydney’s north shore, hidden in a package addressed to Boyd’s girlfriend and penthouse pet Simone Starr. The bomb, filled with shrapnel and steel bolts, blew up in Boyd’s face, leaving him with horrific injuries. He lost his left eye and most of his vision in his right. The blast also severed his right thumb and one of his ear drums burst. Boyd, a beloved personal trainer who dated models but was embroiled in Sydney’s underworld, survived the blast. But his mental health was never the same and nine years later, in 2008, Boyd took his own life. “The bomb was designed to kill him,” Brett’s sister Susan Boyd told 60 Minutes. “He didn’t just want to kill Brett, he wanted to obliterate him. It was so personal, it was fuelled with such hate. “What has stayed with me is walking into the hospital. And Brett was a beautiful looking man and it just looked like someone had got a bucket of black gunpowder and blood and just thrown it over his whole face. And what’s stayed with me is this slow steady drip of the blood running from his left eye.” Found not guilty in April this year, Robert De Heredia was finally able to live his life as a free man. But it wasn’t without a handful of near brushes with death along the way.
