Three years ago, the lives of four families changed forever when Benjamin Hoffmann went on a murderous shooting spree through Darwin.
After two attempts at a trial and several dramatic courtroom outbursts, he has today been sentenced for the horrifying attacks he carried out on the evening of June 4, 2019.
For the murders of Hassan Baydoun, Michael Sisois and Robert Courtney, as well as the manslaughter of Nigel Hellings and a handful of other crimes, Hoffmann will spend the rest of his life in prison, after being sentenced to life with no parole.
