Australian justice sentenced Monday to life imprisonment to a man who murdered his four year old throwing from the top of a bridge in the city of Melbourne in front of her two brothers, local media reported. During sentencing, the judge of the Supreme Court of the State of Victoria, Paul Coghlan, do not hesitate to describe as "horrendous" crime committed by Arthur Freeman.
"The fact that launching your own four year old daughter from a bridge over 80 feet can not be (a crime) more horrible," Coghlan told ABC radio said. According to the ruling, Freeman will spend 32 consecutive years in prison without parole, which runs until 2041. The incident occurred on January 29, 2009 in Melbourne, the capital of Victoria state, while Freeman took his daughter Darcey on her first day at school.
Suddenly the man stopped the car and threw the girl from the top of the West Gate Bridge. Freeman, who the day before had restricted access to their children, threw his daughter before his brothers Jack and Ben, two and six years respectively. The judge concluded that the offender used his daughter "in an attempt to hurt his ex-wife of the most profound way possible," as he called shortly before killing his ex-wife, Peta Barnes to tell him the dismissal of children.
During the trial, the infanticidal had pleaded not guilty claiming a mental problem, but the jury found him guilty of murder last month. Freeman remained motionless throughout the sentencing, but as soon as the judge left the courtroom, began yelling about the alleged threats received by the family of his ex-wife.
