'Cold-blooded and callous': Jarrod Turner's killer sentenced to life in prison for 'execution-style' murder

On a dark country road, after a night of drinking, Jarrod Leigh Turner was shot dead — murdered— by his friend, in what the sentencing judge called "cold-blooded", "callous" and "in the worst category of the crime".

Justice Brett said Duffy shot Mr Turner with a 12-gauge shotgun at close range and left him to bleed to death on the side of the rural road.Justice Brett said Duffy had agreed to another person's suggestion to shoot Mr Turner, but not kill him, as punishment for a perceived grievance.Justice Brett said Duffy formed a plan to murder Mr Turner, when a 14-girl told him that Mr Turner had sexually assaulted her.

Justice Brett said Duffy sent Mr Turner a text message on April 13, arranging to pick him up later that night to drink alcohol together."You betrayed your friendship with Mr Turner by using it to deceive him." He said while Mr Turner was urinating on the side of the semi-rural road, Duffy retrieved the shotgun from where he had hidden it in the car and shot Mr Turner very close to head under his right ear.

"The sentence Shannon Duffy received today doesn't bring my son Jarrod home to us or his two boys," Mr Bradley said."He [has] never done what he was accused of with that young girl.""Change murderers to life, no parole — they've taken a life so they don't deserve a life either," she said.Mr Turner's mother Michelle Bradley said Mr Turner meant everything to his family.

We'll probably never know if he touched that 13yo girl. But at least we know he'll never do it again
