Statement from the Attorney-General

No sentence will ever bring grandmother Vyleen White back, and my thoughts and prayers remain with Victor and the White family on what continues to be an incredibly difficult day.

I welcome today’s decision which dismisses the killer’s appeal to reduce his sentence.

The devastating loss of Vyleen revealed the horrifying reality of Labor’s Youth Crime Crisis.

Vyleen’s murder is exactly why the Crisafulli Government’s first act in office was to strengthen laws and deliver Adult Crime, Adult Time.

Under our laws, this killer would have faced life imprisonment.
