A 21-year-old Australian man of Sri Lankan descent, who raped and murdered an Indian woman, has been sentenced to 45 years in jail by a Sydney court today.
The New South Wales Supreme Court ruled that Daniel Stani-Reginald would not be eligible for parole for a minimum of 30 years for raping and murdering Tosha Thakkar, then 24, in a Sydney flat March 9, 2011, a media report said.
Thakkar, a university student in Sydney studying accounting, was raped and strangled to death in a flat at Croydon here by Stani-Reginald who was her neighbour.
