In short:
Triple murderer Darryl Young, who gunned down his neighbours at Bogie in 2022, has been sentenced to life in prison.
Young, 63, was found guilty of three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder after a Supreme Court trial in Townsville.
Seven victim impact statements were read to the court as Young was sentenced on Monday.
A man who gunned down his cattle station neighbours, killing three and wounding a fourth, has been sentenced to life in prison with a 40-year non parole period.
Darryl Valroy Young, 63, was convicted of three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder by a Supreme Court jury in Townsville last week.
Justice Christopher Johnstone handed down three life sentences for the murders on Monday.
He described Young’s offending as the worst category and extended the 30-year non-parole period by a further decade.
During a nearly four-week trial, the court heard that Young invited his neighbours to the gate of his Bogie cattle station and accused them of cattle theft, before shooting them with a rifle.
