Marriage and wife
Borce Ristevski was married to Karen Ristevski for 27 years. His wife’s brother Stephen Williams has been very vocal about his disappointment on Victorian Supreme Court judge’s sentence.
“Nothing was going to bring Karen back, but today was about justice, and we didn’t get justice today at all.”
He went on to stress the subject of domestic violence. Williams’s voice is supported by domestic violence organizations including the likes of ‘No to Violence’.

According to Ristevski’s daughter, the love between her parents was “something she hoped to one day experience for herself”. His 24-year-old daughter further added,

“All I can try and do is communicate the truth of how good of a dad and husband he was to my mum and me.”
