Michael Leigh Chamberlain (born 1944) is a New Zealand-born Australian writer, retired teacher and former pastor, best known due to the 1980 death of his daughter Azaria as the result of a dingo attack whilst camping near Uluru in the Northern Territory, Australia. When Chamberlain's then-wife Lindy was falsely convicted of the baby's murder in 1982, he was convicted of being an accessory after the fact. The findings of a 1987 Royal Commission ultimately exonerated the couple, but not before they were subjected to sensationalist reporting and intense public scrutiny.〔 Chamberlain currently resides in Cooranbong, New South Wales, Australia with his second wife Ingrid. ==Early life and pastoral career== Chamberlain was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, the eldest son of Ivan and Greta Chamberlain.〔 His father served as a warrant officer in the Royal New Zealand Air Force during World War II, while his mother was involved with the administration of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in southern New Zealand.〔 Educated at Lincoln High School and Christchurch Boys' High School, Chamberlain commenced studies at the University of Canterbury but after converting to the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1965, left and migrated to Australia.〔〔 He subsequently studied at Avondale College in Cooranbong and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Theology) degree in 1969.〔 He married Lindy Murchison the same year, after meeting her in 1968.〔 After graduating, Chamberlain worked as a Seventh-day Adventist minister in Tasmania, Australia, where Lindy Chamberlain gave birth to two children - Aidan (born 2 October 1973) and Regan (born 16 April 1976).〔 In 1977 the family moved to Queensland, Australia, where Chamberlain produced and presented a radio programme called ''The Good Life'', a commentary on lifestyle and culture throughout the northern parts of the state.〔 The Chamberlain's third child, daughter Azaria, was born in Mount Isa on 11 June 1980.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://adbonline.anu.edu.au/biogs/A130439b.htm )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Chamberlain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
