Trent Jennings’ storied criminal history includes killing a man he met on Grindr during sex and tying up another, then robbing him of $400 and a Mercedes-Benz.
A man who was tied up and robbed of his Mercedes-Benz and $400 during a Grindr date by killer Trent Jennings in 2011 has blasted Jennings’ recent sentence for being in possession of police handcuffs and dozens of police uniforms, branding his 12 months behind bars “insulting”.
Australian Federal Police badges and uniform patches were also inside Jennings’ suitcases; Jennings had been “in a relationship, person had given him those items,” being the handcuffs and Federal Police paraphernalia, his Legal Aid lawyer told the District Court last Tuesday. ‘It’s crucial that Mr Jennings is held accountable for his actions. Incarceration and a significant sentence … is a just outcome.’In 2011, Jennings met Richard Foster on dating app Grindr while, unbeknownst to Foster, Jennings was on day release from Morisset Psychiatric Hospital.
Jennings in 2003 killed Giuseppe Vitale during what the court determined was a drug-induced psychosis. He tied up his victim’s hands and feet and stabbed him in the neck during a casual sexual encounter. He was found not guilty of murder on mental health grounds.
