News summary

Four teenagers were sentenced to prison for the murder of 16-year-old Declan Cutler in Melbourne, who was brutally attacked by a group of eight boys after leaving a party in March 2022. The group kicked, stomped on, and stabbed Declan, inflicting 152 injuries, including 56 stab wounds, in a two-minute assault captured on CCTV. Justice Rita Incerti described the attack as an act of 'incalculable inhumanity' and sentenced the four attackers—referred to as SA, DM, QDM, and SY—to prison terms ranging from 17 to 19.5 years, with eligibility for parole after 12 to 14.5 years. A 13-year-old co-defendant was deemed too young for criminal responsibility and was released, while three other gang members were sentenced earlier for their involvement. The adult parole board is set to determine whether the teenagers will serve their sentences in youth or adult facilities.
