Fane, 26, was sentenced after a jury found him guilty of the killing of Lasslett, 43, and Nick Littlewood, 32, in Omanawa on February 11 last year. In front of a packed public gallery, and amidst a heavy police and security presence, Justice Gerard van Bohemen sentenced Fane to life imprisonment with a minimum period of 17 years. Fane’s partner Sarah Lee Tarei, 25, was also sentenced to nine months home detention after being found guilty of one count of accessory after the fact of murder. While van Bohemen said she had undoubtedly played a role in helping Samuel Fane attempt to avoid arrest, he cited her daughter when he handed down the home detention sentence.
