BREAKING: Convicted wife killer Borce Ristevski has had his jail sentence increased to 13 years. 9News
Chief Justice Ferguson said the respondent's disposal of his wife's body was a significant feature aggravating of his offending, and was emblematic of his complete lack of remorse.
Ristevski, who attended the hearing via video link, appeared shocked and his face reddened when the extended sentence was revealed.Karen's brother Stephen Williams told reporters outside court that although he didn't believe justice had been served for his slain sister, it was "as good as a result as we could have got".
"It's just a really sad situation that never should have panned out like this. It would have been so much different if he had owned up to what he did in the beginning. Would have saved a lot of pain to a lot of people, including himself," she said.
