The killer will be out of prison before his 24th birthday.

Queensland’s Attorney-General says she will appeal the sentence handed to a teenage driver who ran down expectant parents Kate Leadbetter and Matthew Field, killing them and their unborn child.

Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman said she had taken advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions and had appealed the decision on Thursday. When asked about the timing of the appeal, Fentiman highlighted that although the state opposition had called for the appeal on the day of the sentencing, she had also sought advice from Public Prosecutions, adding that she wanted to follow the correct process.
