The Illawarra Mercury reported that the son, whose name was withheld, pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact to murder. He admitted to helping his brother conceal the body of their father, who was killed in 2019. Despite his confession, the judge ruled that the son’s role in the crime was minimal and that he was not a risk to society. The son was sentenced to four years in prison, with two years suspended, and immediately released on parole. Prosecutors had requested a more severe sentence, arguing that the son had played a significant role in the cover-up.

Police continue to search for him in connection with the case. The verdict has sparked controversy, with some questioning whether the son’s actions should have resulted in a more lenient sentence. However, others have expressed sympathy for the son, arguing that he was a victim of his brother’s violence. The case is a reminder of the complex and challenging nature of murder and its aftermath, and the difficult choices that must be made by the judicial system when it comes to punishment and rehabilitation.
