You may remember the news a body was found in a wheelie bin in a residential area of Epping in Sydneys northwest in August 2015.
The body was identified as 25 year old Korean student, Suyong An and one of his flatmates, Korean national Tai Jin Park was arrested as a suspect of murder.
The news had given an enormous shock to Korean community in Sydney because the brutal crime involved with two Korean men occurred in Epping where a relatively large Korean population has.
It is found out Park killed the flatmate with a sledgehammer before dumping his body in a wheelie bin. Park stole more than $60,000 from victims bank account and sold his car for cash.
Park had tried to claim he didnt plan the murder and it happened when he bashed him in a spontaneous outburst of temper.
However, Justice Megan Latham on June 30, 2017 found Park asked a co-worker before the killing where he could find luggage large enough to contain a human and told an acquaintance he was selling his car for cash - even though he didn't own one.
"Premeditation, an intention to kill, and a brutal assault upon a young man whom the offender barely knew for base financial reasons place this offence in the more serious category than many instances of murder coming before the courts," she said.
Park, who has been in custody since his arrest in August 2015, and sentenced to a maximum 36 years in prison with a non-parole period of 27 years.
