Could weep. How can we value a person’s life so little? 6 Years? For killing someone, hiding their body and thus ensuring evidence is deteriorated, putting family through the hell of not knowing where their loved one is, causing a huge waste of police resources which could have been used elsewhere.
How can we get this changed? Domestic violence stats are way too high and our justice system continues to be dismally pathetic in its response. Sad and angry for Karen today.
anyone got any ideas on why they want the saliva sample from BR? Could he face other charges at a later date?
Sleepinoz, I too am outraged and bewildered ... another WHAT IN THE WORLD!!! moment for me .... oh dear, what price a life, hey? Will catch up on the posts now to see what went on in the court today ...I'm almost as angry as I was after the Tostee trial
Considering he came to AUstralia when he was 6, it is not improbable that Mum and Dad Ristevski saw no reason to bung Borce and Vasko on the citizen application thingy.. lots of parents of small children haven't , which is why some unfortunate and incorrigible people find themselves landing in Croatia or Moldavia, Britain or Auckland, and good old Macedonia after leaving prison in Au somewhere, not having been there since they were 2, or 3. Not even speaking the language.I wonder if this CRIMINAL is an Australian Citizen.
If not, hope he is deported, once his sentence is completed.
Let us hope.
He can try his money ideas elsewhere.
MOO.

Borce Ristevski got nine years today (minimum six) for killing his wife Karen, dumping her body, lying to police and his family and refusing to say what happened. Some recent sentences for perspective.
PS: If this case doesn't go on appeal and win, I'll shoot myself in a home-made rocket to Mars, as God is my witness .... oooh, I think I've threatened that before, but .... I mean it this time.

There is a law now, that anyone arrested can have their DNA taken and catalogued and saved to a data base, in Victoria. Borce, at the time of his arrest , refused to give a sample, and it has been an outstanding unresolved matter since then. Now that he is convicted, it is automatic, as before this law changed, once one was convicted, one's sample went into the record.
And who knows?.. there may be other equally mysterious matters unresolved in the world of commerce that Borce inhabited that have remained mysteries, up until now.
No idea, but there is obviously a reason. I want to know why

I am disgusted at the pathetic sentence, it’s a travesty of justice. There desperately needs to be law changes enacted to impose additional sentencing time on murderers for hiding the victims body and for not admitting what they did - anyone good with wording (cough cough trooper) want to help get a petition started?
"Investigators believe Karen was killed in the bathroom of the Avondale Heights home. It was scrubbed "hospital grade" clean, they said.
They believe the couple argued about the financial plight of their clothing business, Bella Bleu, beforehand."

This is not surprising, we all predicted it will be around 10 years max, if you follow other cases you know this is expected. Take a look at that cardinal child rapist, sentencing is supposed to be deterrent
I wonder what would have happened had he called cops that morning and told them it was an accident? 2-3 years max if pleads guilty or maybe nothing if he claimed self defense?
