A DRUG dealer who fatally shot a man in the head in his home over a “piddling” $700 drug debt will spend at least 10 years in jail.
The man, who can not be named for legal reasons, was sentenced in the West Australian Supreme Court to 12 years in prison for the manslaughter of Mario Perrin at his Dianella home, in Perth’s north.
He had fired his gun three times, shooting Mr Perrin, who was a nominee for membership of the Rebels bikie gang, in the head.
The man had previously pleaded not guilty to murder but changed his plea to manslaughter on the eighth day of his trial.
The 33-year-old father of two went to 39-year-old Mr Perrin’s home on October 23, 2010 to try to recover a $700 drug debt, the court heard.
He and Mr Perrin had exchanged a series of text messages in the hours before the shooting.
The messages escalated into name calling and abuse, culminating with Mr Perrin calling the man a dog and a maggot.
When the man, carrying a loaded gun, arrived at Mr Perrin’s suburban home, the pair had a heated verbal exchange at the front door.
The man fired the first of three shots at the security door, before entering and firing another two shots inside the home, one ricocheting and hitting a neighbour’s house.
The third hit Mr Perrin in the head as he was coming out from his bedroom, where he had fled.
Mr Perrin’s two brothers and a nephew were in the house at the time of the shooting.
In sentencing, Justice Lindy Jenkins said the man had shot and killed a man in his own home over a “piddling” drug debt.
“He (Mr Perrin) was not equipped for a gun fight,” Justice Jenkins said.
“There was no justification for you to shoot it, not once, but three times.
“You should have left when Mr Perrin went to his bedroom.”
Justice Jenkins also said the man’s first response after the shooting was to flee, and that he should have known Mr Perrin needed medical attention.
The court was told the man had had a turbulent childhood, marred by violence and his parents’ separation when he was young.
He had turned to drugs, namely methamphetamine, to cope with long hours running his own successful bricklaying business and with problems in his marriage.
He began selling drugs after his marriage fell apart and he had lost his business as a result of his drug taking.
Outside the court, Mr Perrin’s mother, Maureen Saylor, said she was happy with the sentence despite being devastated at her son’s death.
“We don’t get to see him, he comes out and see his parents. We don’t see our son,” she said.
“It doesn’t matter how long he gets, it is not going to bring our son back.
“But we are happy with the sentence.”
She did not accept the man had remorse for his crime.
The sentence was backdated to October 2010 and the man will be eligible for parole in 2020.
