Killer of in-laws gets 27 years jail
December 14, 2007 — 1.10pm
A Melbourne man has been sentenced to 27 years' jail for the murder of his parents-in-law.
Sarath Laksham Hettiarachchi killed Sammy and Iranganie Perera at his Hallam home, south-east of Melbourne, on March 7 last year by stabbing them to death.
He must serve a minimum of 22 years.
Handing down the sentence, Supreme Court Justice Betty King said Hettiarachchi, 47, had conducted the killings in a "savage and agitated manner" and shown no remorse.
The court heard Hettiarachchi's wife Badrakanthi watched helplessly as her husband stabbed her father, who was nursing his four-month-old granddaughter and then went on to attack her mother.
The murders occurred minutes after police served Hettiarachchi with an intervention order taken out by his wife.
Ms King said Hettiarachchi's reaction in attacking the elderly, defenceless couple, both 76, was totally out of proportion.
She said Hettiarachchi expressed no sorrow and maintained his innocence.
"You said you had nothing to do with the killings, it must have been your wife because she was mad," she said.
The court previously heard the deceased couple had arrived in Australia from Sri Lanka the previous month for a holiday and were staying with Hettiarachchi and his wife at their home.
