Tosha Thakkar: "Terrible way to Die",Daniel Stani-Reginald sentenced to at least 30 years' jail
A Sydney storeman has been sentenced to at least 30 years' jail for the "planned and premeditated" rape and murder of an Indian student, who he strangled to death with a cable, stuffed into a suitcase and dumped in a canal off the Parramatta River.
.jpg)
Daniel Stani-Reginald, 21, and his victim, accountancy student Tosha Thakkar, lived in neighbouring apartments in a boarding house on Edwin Street, Croydon in Sydney's inner west.
The callousness of the act is disclosed in the calm manner in which the offender booked the taxi and took the body to Meadowbank.
On the morning of March 9, 2011 Stani-Reginald waited for his victim's roommate to leave and then confronted Ms Thakkar as she walked back from a communal bathroom.
He then raped and assaulted Ms Thakkar and strangled her with a black coaxial cable.
Ms Thakkar's body was discovered in a large black-cloth case floating in a canal near Meadowbank Park by workmen undertaking regular maintenance on an oil line.
"The offender strangled her, an extraordinary cruel act," Sentencing Judge Derek Price told the NSW Supreme Court.
The court heard that the crimes had a "strong sexual element" and that Stani-Reginald had been planning them for months beforehand. He viewed thousands of disturbing internet articles and websites on serial killers and notorious rapists.
These included infamous Australian cases such as Dean Shillingsworth, the murdered toddler whose body was dumped in a suitcase.
He also read judgments on the sentences of notorious killers and viewed pornography relating to Indian women.
"There's documented evidence that he had been planning the murder for a number of years prior," Justice Price said.
"The callousness of the act is disclosed in the calm manner in which the offender booked the taxi and took the body to Meadowbank. His lack of empathy is evident from the articles he viewed online before and after the murders."
The court heard that a number of psychiatrists examined Stani-Reginald over the course of his criminal history. All but one found that while Stani-Reginald was disturbed, there was no clear evidence of a mental disorder or psychosis, even though as a child his father had murdered his mother.
Justice Price found that the 21-year-old had demonstrated no contrition or remorse and represented a serious threat to the community.
"The offender's prospects of rehabilitation are very poor. His juvenile record is replete with his refusals to accept assistance," Justice Price said.
"I'm satisfied that there's a real risk that the offender will reoffend with acts of violence and sexual assault."
Nevertheless, his honour stopped short of sentencing Stani-Reginald to life as prosecutors had suggested, finding that the offender's young age meant such a sentence could equate to as much as 60 years in jail.
He sentenced the 21-year-old to a maximum of 45 years in jail with a minimum non-parole period of 30 years.
With time served, Stani-Reginald will be eligible for parole in March 2041.

Angelina Jolie's Double Mastectomy
They praised the Hollywood actress’s courage and said she would dramatically raise the profile of the genetic defect that means some women are much more likely to develop breast cancer.
Wendy Watson, who founded the UK’s National Hereditary Breast Cancer Helpline after she underwent a double mastectomy aged 37 in 1992, welcomed Jolie’s move.
Mrs Watson, from near Bakewell in Derbyshire, said: "It is excellent because it is the highest profile you can get for it.
"It raises the profile for other women to look to if they have a family history and would benefit from being screened more frequently, or having surgery or having a genetic test.
"She [Jolie] probably feels that undergoing the operation is common sense but it probably does take a certain amount of courage to face it."

“Rest and be thankful.” ― William Wordsworth
How A man ended up his life in
"Yarra river Melbourne"
Man drowns in Yarra River after heroic waiter saves friend
The 22-year old barman
had earlier served the men at the nearby Riverland Bar.
Dave Brearley said
some friends of the men who were drinking at the bar told him earlier of their
plans to swim across the river.
"I said 'bye’ to
them, wished them a good night and they said two guys wanted to swim across the
river. I told them not to - it’s filthy and that I wouldn’t be caught dead
there,’’ he told 3AW.
About 10 minutes later
Mr Brearley heard the men crying for help from the middle of the river.
"I thought they
were just joking, then obviously I realised they weren’t joking,’’ he said.
"Then I basically just dived in."
Mr Brearley said by
the time he reached the man he rescued, the other had already vanished beneath
the muddy water.
"I dragged him
out backwards and he was panicking, he was in shock. He’d swallowed a lot of
water, so I was just trying to keep him calm and get him to the edge as fast as
possible,’’ he said.
"Then he told me
his friend was in there … a few other guys jumped in and tried to help him but
obviously weren’t successful.’’
The brave Englishman,
from Manchester, said he was an above-average swimmer and had not hesitated in
jumping into the river to rescue the man.
"I was scared,
obviously I thought I could be in the same position as them and in five minutes
I could be drowning myself, but I couldn’t stand there and watch someone
drown."
Mr Brearley said the
man he dragged from the water did not appear drunk when he saw him at Riverland
earlier that night.
"When they told
me they were going to jump in they told me they’re not drunk, so I still
advised them not to jump in and they gave the impression that they were going
to tell (their friends) not to jump in after I warned them, but obviously they
didn’t."
The missing man's body was found in about two metres of water
near the Princes Bridge about 12.30am after search and rescue, water police,
local police units and the air wing searched the area last night.He is yet to
be formally identified but is believed to be aged 27.
Riverland venue
manager Andy Price said Mr Brearley dived in when he saw the two men in
trouble.
"One of the guys
was working with the rest of the team last night about nine o' clock," he
said.
"He heard a
couple of guys who went off the bank and into the river and they obviously got
themselves into trouble pretty quickly.
"Dave saw what
was going on, jumped on the river from our side, swam across to the south bank
and got them out.
"Obviously he did
what he could."
He said Mr Brearley
would not return to work for a few days.
"Dave's a fairly
shy, gentle kind of guy, and we will be giving him a little bit of time off
just for him to be able to deal with what he's had to deal with," Mr Price
said.
Paramedic team manager
Susie Dean said Mr Brearley would be nominated for a bravery award.
"My understanding
from witnesses that are here is that there was one very brave young gentleman
from one of the restaurants beside the river here and he's actually jumped into
the water and tried to swim out to almost the middle of the river and pulled
one person back to shore," Ms Dean said.
"He's then gone
back in to try and save the other person as well ... he’s a very brave young
man to jump into the water and try and save these people…he’s gone above and
beyond.”
Ms Dean said there was
a very strong current in the water last night and it was cold and dark.
She said the two men
who had attempted to swim across the river were with a group of friends at the
time.
"It could have
been far worse, there were two people in the water and another two tried to
save them so we could have had a number of people in serious trouble here
tonight from jumping into the Yarra thinking they were having a bit of fun and
it's turned to tragedy."
It's believed the
missing man was on holiday from Ireland.

Maneka Gandhi questions government’s move to shift gang rape victim to Singapore
New Delhi: Demanding stringent laws and action against rapists, animal rights' activist and senior BJP leader Maneka Gandhi on Saturday called for a Special Session of the Parliament and said that the victim died in India but government sent her to Singapore.
“Nirbhaya (imaginary name of victim) died in India but the government sent her to Singapore. The government is playing game, Parliament could have been easily reconvened for a day” – she tweeted.
The leader also said that she has no hope from the Congress and slammed its way of dealing with the crime against women.
The victim, who was admitted to the well-known multi-organ transplant facility Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore in an extremely critical condition on Thursday morning, breathed her last at 4:45 AM (2:15 AM India time). Earlier, she had undergone treatment at the Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi.
Indian New Delhi gang-rape victim cremated
NEW DELHI (AFP) - The victim of a gang-rape and murder which triggered an outpouring of grief and anger across India was cremated at a private ceremony on Sunday as it emerged she was planning to get married in February.
The unidentified 23-year-old, the focus of nationwide protests since she was brutally attacked on a bus in New Delhi two weeks ago, was cremated away from the public glare only hours after her body was repatriated from Singapore.
The funeral pyre was lit after traumatised relatives and friends said their final prayers at a ceremony in southwestern Delhi, according to mourners who revealed she had been due to wed a boyfriend who was injured in the same attack.
"They had made all the wedding preparations and had planned a wedding party in Delhi" for February, said Meena Rai, who was a close friend and neighbour.
"I really loved this girl. She was the brightest of all."
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi, the leader of the main ruling Congress party, were at Delhi airport to console her parents as they arrived home on a chartered plane with their daughter's body at around 4:00 am (2230 GMT).
After initial treatment in a Delhi hospital following the attack, she was flown to Singapore on Wednesday night. But doctors were unable to prevent a multiple organ failure and she was pronounced dead in the early hours of Saturday.
Her death has prompted government promises of better protection for women, and deep soul-searching in a nation where sex crimes are a daily occurrence and sexual harassment is routinely dismissed as "Eve-teasing".
Waves of protests have erupted across India since the attack on the night of December 16 when the woman was not only repeatedly raped but also sexually assaulted with an iron bar, leaving her with terrible intestinal injuries.
Thousands took part in late-night candlelit vigils Saturday after Singh led appeals for calm to prevent a repeat of the sometimes violent protests.
As police said the six accused of murdering the unnamed woman could face the death penalty, there was a widespread determination that the killing would serve as a tipping point for how the nation deals with violence against women.
"We are aware that this is not the first case, nor will it be the last case of gang-rape in India, but it is clear that we will not tolerate sex crimes any more," said Bela Rana, a lawyer who joined a rally in central Delhi.
The city has been dubbed the "rape capital" of India. A report in Sunday's Hindustan Times said more than 20 women had been raped there since December 16.
According to police and prosecutors, the murder victim's ordeal began when six men lured her and her male companion onto a bus that they thought would take them home.
Instead a group of joyriders, who had been drinking heavily, launched a savage attack lasting some 40 minutes that only ended when the victims were thrown off the bus.
The attack has prompted intense debate among Indians who had grown almost inured to an epidemic of violence against women.
Gang-rapes are so common that they rarely get a mention in the newspapers. Victims are often deterred even from reporting them for fear of shaming their families or receiving a brush-off from police.
The Times of India said in an editorial Sunday that two key questions must be addressed in the aftermath of the tragedy.
"What exactly will the government do now to make the country a safer and better place for all women? And what will all of us do to tackle deeply entrenched prejudice and misogyny in our society?"
The government has already promised to bring in tougher sentences for the most extreme sex crimes and speed up a notoriously slow justice system.http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/world/15734072/india-grieves-for-gang-rape-victim/Call for social change:"New Delhi" "Gang Rape"
New Delhi has been placed on high alert following the death a 23-year-old woman whose gang rape sparked violent protests. The six suspects held in connection with the rape have been charged with murder.
Thousands of police were deployed across India's capital on Saturday following the death of the unnamed medical student. Authorities closed 10 metro stations and banned vehicles from several main roads in the city amid fears of further violent protests.
Hundreds of people are gathered at two locations in the heart of the city, although the day's protests have so far remained peaceful.
Protesters have staged daily demonstrations about the treatment of women in India since the woman was raped and beaten by six men on a bus in the city before being thrown from the moving vehicle two weeks ago.
Six men were charged with her murder on Saturday, Dehli's police spokesman said. The charge will be added to existing murder and assault charges.
The woman was being treated for her injuries at Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital. The hospital announced her death in the early hours of Saturday morning.
"She had suffered from severe organ failure following serious injuries to her body and brain," Kelvin Loh, the chief executive of Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital, said in a statement "She was courageous in fighting for her life for so long against the odds but the trauma to her body was too severe for her to overcome."
Call for social change
Gang-rapes are a daily occurrence in India and many go unreported. Social activists say governments do little to ensure the safety of women and most perpetrators go unpunished.
Responding to the woman's death in a statement on Saturday, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said that social change in India was needed.
"The need of the hour is a dispassionate debate and inquiry into the critical changes that are required in societal attitudes," the prime minister said.
"I hope that the entire political class and civil society will set aside narrow sectional interests and... help us all reach the end that we all desire - making India a demonstrably better and safer place for women to live in."
On Friday, the chief minister of West Bengal state, Mamata Banerjee, pledged 65 all-female police stations dealing with crimes against women. She said that ten of them were already up and running.
