Saeed Noori, who mowed down 16 pedestrians when he drove through one of Melbourne’s busiest intersections before Christmas in 2017, has been jailed for life
for murder and causing serious injury.
"You chose to commit the offences in the public domain, in a crowded public space where your actions would have the most dramatic effect."The offending was entirely unprovoked, and displayed a callous disregard for the sanctity of human life. Whatever your motive was for committing these offences, it had nothing to do with the particular victims."
An off-duty policeman who arrested Noori at the scene heard him say him say ‘‘Allahu Akbar’’ two of three times, and he later told police he acted ‘‘in the name of Allah’’. He was also long-time user of ice and other drugs, had previously experienced drug-induced psychoses, and had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and other mental-health problems.
