RICHARD and Rachael Llewellyn looked like any other successful couple with kids but behind the facade they were living a lie and destroying the lives of young Queenslanders.
Richard, who had previously been a successful boat-dealer, was on the dole and secretly a street-level ice-trafficker to Gold Coast nightclubbers while wife Rachael helped with drug sales, bagging and weighing ‘ice’ when she wasn’t caring for their children.
