Man jailed for eight years after killing WA mother following random meeting on the street

A 23-year-old man has been sentenced to eight years behind bars after pleading guilty to manslaughter over the death of a young woman in WA's Wheatbelt region.She had a metal pole held to her neck and died in hospital the next dayAmos Ryan Gunn was 21 years old when initially charged with murder before later pleading guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.

State prosecutor Amanda Forrester told the court she died from deprivation of blood and oxygen to her brain. One read, "The chicken is dead mate or fox or something, I'm not sure how to put it", and another said his housemates were not responding but "I've got it under wraps". Ms Forrester read out a number of victim impact statements from the Indigenous woman's family, including her father, mother and two sisters, all sharing their devastation at the loss of their loved one.

Ms Forrester told the court Ms Dann's death was perhaps not what society would normally view as domestic violence, but that violence against women of any kind was unacceptable.Gunn's lawyer told the court it had been a shock for people who knew his client to see him where he was.

White killer, black victim... BLM

Some Judge

Australia justice is a global embarrassment. The guy should rot in a cell for life.

6 years in jail for murder, unbelievable light sentencing, hopefully it will be questioned

Only 8 years? What the hell is wrong with our criminal justice system

What an utterly horrendous story. This is what so many indigenous women have had to endure and continue to do so. Her poor, poor son.

Only 8 years jail time for taking a beautiful young woman's life, and causing her family horrible distress.

Rest In Peace Beautiful ❤

Doesn't mention how things escalated after they had intercourse. A better jail term would be having him raise the son who lost their mother from this tradgedy.

Piss poor jail term MarkMcGowanMP

8 years, what a disgrace. RIP 💕

Shouldn't be out having a bender when you got kids.

8 years?!

May She Rest In Peace... 🙏🕊😢❤️

One read, 'The chicken is dead mate or fox or something, I'm not sure how to put it', and another said his housemates were not responding but 'I've got it under wraps'. What the hell does that mean?

WA to keep borders closed, Queensland should think about the same, says AMAWestern Australia's chief health officer won't be advising the state government to reopen borders until Victoria's coronavirus numbers improve, while the AMA says Queensland should also consider keeping its border closed. Let Annastacia make her decision tomorrow don’t choose for her Overreacting is an understatement. Australia with this advice is heading for a depression of proportions. Behind the media headlines, the reality is there is only ONE person critically ill in the whole country. ONE. All the rest (a handful) require no serious treatment. RIP Good. We may have this virus in hand for now, but complacency and arrogance could easily see that change quickly. Caution is the only safe way forward, at least until there's a vaccine.
