Mert Ney jailed for murder and Sydney stabbing rampage
The sister of a woman killed before a stabbing rampage through Sydney's CBD has broken down after Mert Ney was jailed for a maximum 44 years.
Ney pleaded guilty to three charges including the murder of Michaela Dunn, who was stabbed to death in a Clarence Street apartment in August 2019.
Ms Dunn's mother Joanne dropped her head and wept in the NSW Supreme Court as a life sentence was ruled out.
Justice Peter Johnson found Ney's mental health issues contributed to his offending and sentenced him to 44 years in jail with a non-parole term of 33 years.
