A killer has been sentenced to decades behind bars for breaking into a stranger's south-west Sydney home - after hearing about "bundles of cash" flashed on a Tinder date.
Joseph Nehme was sentenced in the NSW Supreme Court todayduring a botched home invasion in Condell Park in 2019.
"It's a big outcome for the family, it's been a long time coming," Luke's brother Jake Lembryk said outside court.Luke Lembryk, 29, was allegedly killed by two intruders in a botched home invasion. Nehme is the last of four people to be sentenced over the killing.The plan for the home invasion was hatched when Price mentioned seeing "bundles of cash" on a Tinder date with Luke in December 2019."The girl, a girl told me a week ago she was at a house there ...
The two men were in the house for less than two minutes, stabbing Luke five times, including in the heart.She died from cancer a few months later. "Thinking about her last months being in such distress is a hard thing to think about," Jake said today.The judge said this indicated that two people were there when Luke was attacked, even though Nehme claimed he only entered the house after the murder.
The judge ruled on the balance of probabilities it was his accomplice who inflicted the stab wounds but said Nehme was the "leader of the venture". He was sentenced to 21 years and six months in prison, with a non parole period of 15 years."He was a big life, that bloke and he was very hard to lose," Jake said.
