Australian jailed for car rampage murders
An Australian man has been sentenced to life in jail for murdering six people and injuring 27 more in a vehicle attack in Melbourne.
James Gargasoulas, 29, deliberately ploughed a stolen car into pedestrians in the city centre in January 2017.
He later told a court in a confusing speech that he had carried out the attack after receiving a premonition.
On Friday, a judge described it as one of the worst mass murders in Australian history.
"You made no attempt to avoid people or to slow down. You simply ploughed through them, quite deliberately," Justice Mark Weinberg said, according to a report by Seven News.
I think the following passage decides the question.
Gargasoulas testified that he had received a premonition from God directing him to drive into pedestrians. When asked whether he knew he would kill people, he said: "In a sense, yes."
He also read a two-page statement - cut down from 25 pages - in which he apologised for his actions, but also rambled about subjects such as the "Illuminati" and government "oppression".
