Known to her friends as Lulu, Ms Yousif had ordered a beautiful hand-beaded, embroidered 'princess' gown by Steven Khalil, a bouquet of perfect white roses, and a white Rolls-Royce Ghost to travel in. But behind the glitzy wedding party - held at a $2.
5million home in south-west Sydney and featuring a convoy of luxury cars including a $500,000 McLaren 720S convertible - lurked a terrible secret. By Ms Yousif and Maurice's wedding day, Detective Sergeant Michael Keegan and NSW police were already a month into a serious investigation into the violation of three teenage girls just 36 days prior to the nuptials. The girls - two aged 18, one 19 - were raped over a Friday and Saturday night during the groom's bucks party celebrations at an Airbnb in Newcastle, about two hours' drive north of Sydney.
