Dropping out of an advanced computing degree, a Sydney man maintained a lie that he would graduate until he tried to kill his brother with a small fruit knife.

Jacky Dang, 24, had been enrolled at the University of Sydney until he failed a single subject in early 2023 and did not enrol in any more.
