Let’s be real here: There is no one piece of tech that’s going to magically fulfill all of the hopes you may have for improving yourself in 2016.

Australian Phillip, 59, was a leader in his field. Over 30 years, he’d run several podiatry clinics, and he’d also founded an orthotic footwear company which sold shoes in the UK and across America. His website boasted the fact he’d treated over 50,000 people during his career.

Who would want to kill a man who’d devoted his life to helping people? And how had the killer entered an exclusive gated community and taken the life of a much-loved family man? No one expected the events that unfolded next.

The charismatic businessman was married to Donna, 54, who he’d met when they were both teenagers. And the couple had two grown-up children: son Aron and daughter Lauren. Phillip and Donna had started the Vasyli Foundation; a charity that gave health support to the underprivileged.
