Vic: Man loses appeal against murder conviction
A man who shot dead a drunken stranger as he clung to the sunroof of his moving car
in Melbourne has lost an appeal against his conviction for murder.
Twenty-three-year-old MEHMET INCE, formerly of Flemington, did not appear in court
for the judgment handed down by the Victorian Court of Appeal.
Justice STEPHEN CHARLES, one of three judges to hear the appeal, said there is no substance
to the defence argument that the conviction for murder was unsafe or unsatisfactory.
MEHMET was jailed for 15 years in February last year and ordered to serve a minimum
non-parole term of 10 years for the murder of 26-year-old plumber IAN BROADBENT in suburban
Bundoora on December 14, 1997.
