FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The armed robber who killed toddler Skye Sassine after hitting her family’s car during a high-speed police pursuit on New Year’s Eve 2009 has been jailed until at least 2024.
In the Downing Centre District Court this morning, career criminal William Ngati, 29, of Claymore, was given a non-parole period of just over 14 years for a crime spree that included the “senseless act” that caused the loss of a “precious child”.
His maximum sentence was 19 years.
Judge David Frearson said that, in trying to evade police by driving at excessive speeds, often on the wrong side of the road, running red lights and swerving in and out of traffic, Ngati was “well aware of the possibility of maiming and killing others”.
“One wonders how any member of the community could put so many others at such grave risk while fleeing from police,” Judge Frearson said.
Ngati pleaded guilty to manslaughter last year over the death of Skye, 19 months, who died after her family’s car was hit by a white mini van driven by Ngati on the Hume Highway at Ingleburn.

He also pleaded guilty to several armed robberies and carjacking.
As Judge Frearson was about to hand down the sentence, Ngati said he wanted to withdraw his plea of guilty to manslaughter.
“I want to change my plea,” he said from the dock.
“I don’t believe I am guilty of manslaughter.”
When Judge Frearson asked what evidence he had to support his application to withdraw his plea, Ngati said, “I need to look through my court papers.”
Judge Frearson refused the application.

Ngati had robbed two bottle shops, in Peakhurst and East Hills, in the hour before the fatal collision. He was armed with a knife while his co-accused Kane Bell was armed with a shortened firearm.
During the second robbery he threatened to kill the liquor store owner.
He led police on a pursuit for 21 kilometres. He was unlicensed and a warrant was out for his arrest after he breached his parole for a drug supply offence.
After the crash he tried to carjack another car which had a family of five inside. He was arrested at gun point.
Judge Frearson said he accepted Ngati had a mild intellectual disability and a drug problem.
He said Ngati had been given numerous chances to be rehabilitated but had “thumbed his nose” at each opportunity.
Rather, he gave “more excuses for his heinous criminal behaviour”.
During an earlier sentencing hearing, Skye’s father, Justin Wright told how his daughter died in his arms.
