Two men have been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Aboriginal boy Cassius Turvey in Perth, Australia. The tragic death of the 15-year-old sparked nationwide outrage over racism following a brutal assault. The killers, Jack Brearley and Brodie Palmer, were described as "callous" by Justice Peter Quinlan who stated that Cassius was completely innocent and their actions were racially motivated. Justice Quinlan handed down the sentences to a courtroom packed with supporters and Cassius' mother, Mechelle Turvey, reflecting public condemnation of the senseless crime committed by the offenders.
