Published May 14, 2021 Michaela Dunn‘s killer has been sentenced to 44 years over her fatal stabbing and the subsequent Sydney CBD rampage in 2019. Mert Ney, 23, pleaded guilty to three charges, including the murder of Dunn, 24, in a Clarence Street apartment. He also plead guilty to the stabbing of Linda Bo, then 41. Justice Peter Johnson found Ney’s mental health issues contributed to his offending, sentencing him to 44 years in prison with a non-parole period of 33 years. Dunn’s mother wept in court after hearing that a life sentence would be ruled out, according to Nine News reporter Tiffany Genders. [Disclosure: PEDESTRIAN.TV is owned by Nine.]
