Abstrak	In 2011, in Australia and Canada, two Aboriginal women-Lynette Daley and Cindy Gladue-died in suspicious circumstances suggestive of sexual homicide. At the time of their deaths, little media attention was given to their cases. However, several years later, as their cases progressed through the criminal justice system, the media would become intensely interested and numerous reports were subsequently published. These news stories, however, demonstrated that when colonialism, racism and sexism intersect they result in victims being to apportioned blame for their subsequent deaths. This paper reports on findings from a research project that examined print and online news media from 2011 to 2018, as these cases traversed the criminal court system. It illustrates that, when taken together the colonialism, racism and sexism prevalent in the news reporting served to characterise the victims as unworthy of the publics sympathy. This paper also provides a reflection on what it might take to reform the medias engagement in cases such as these, to achieve a reimagined justice where Aboriginal womens lives are valued and respected as victims of crime.
