Описание: The man who murdered 20-year-old bottle shop worker Declan Laverty has been sentenced to life in prison with a non-parole period of 20 years. Keith Kerinauia, 20, was found guilty of Mr Laverty's murder last week following an eight-day trial in the Northern Territory Supreme Court. Under NT law, murder carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison with a mandatory minimum of 20 years non-parole. Kerinauia stabbed Mr Laverty several times during an altercation at the Airport Tavern BWS in Darwin's northern suburbs on the night of March 19, 2023. The judge said Kerinauia had not shown remorse and had not taken responsibility for his actions, but said he had hope for his prospects of rehabilitation.
