Mert Ney, who murdered Michaela Dunn in a stabbing attack in Sydney in 2019, has four years taken off his sentence on appeal.
The man who murdered Sydney woman Michaela Dunn before stabbing a second woman in the street has had his sentence reduced on appeal.NSW Court of Criminal Appeal reduced Ney's sentence to 40 years with a non-parole period of 30 yearsMert Ney's August 2019 attack was previously described by a NSW Supreme Court judge as a violent, terrifying, and chaotic rampage.
He filmed the crime scene on his phone and sent graphic videos to friends on social media, before running through the streets in a balaclava and seriously injuring Lin Bo.Justice Beech-Jones said he would have dismissed the appeal. "Thus, in this case it lessens the weight to be attached to general deterrence," Justice Beech-Jones said.
In the original sentence, Justice Johnson said Ney presented as a self-centred individual and his prospects of living a lawful life in the community were bleak in the extreme.
