Former New South Wales detectives Roger Rogerson and Glen McNamara have been sentenced to life behind bars for murdering Sydney student Jamie Gao.
Gao, a 20-year-old university student, was shot dead on May 20, 2014 after the men lured him into a Padstow storage shed with promises of payment for drugs.
The men killed Gao in a premeditated act in order to steal 2.78kg of the drug ice, a quantity with a potential sale value of more than AU $9 million.
In the NSW Supreme Court today, Justice Geoffrey Bellew said the murder was of "an exceptionally high degree of seriousness in offending – brutal in its execution and callous in its aftermath".
