Daniel Billings, convicted of murdering his ex-partner Molly Ticehurst in central west New South Wales, is set to appeal his 28-year prison sentence. Multiple outlets report that the intention to appeal follows the sentencing hearing held last month.
The coverage notes that the 28-year term drew widespread public criticism at the time, with some commentators viewing it as overly lenient. While the reports agree on the sentence and the decision to appeal, they differ mainly in tone and description rather than substance, referring to Billings as a “killer” and highlighting the level of backlash over the length of the punishment.
