flag Aaron Bernath sentenced to 28 years for killing his father with a baseball bat in Australia.

flag Aaron Bernath, 36, was sentenced to 28 years in prison for the January 11, 2024, murder of his father, George Bernath, in Melbourne, Australia. flag After repeatedly striking George with a baseball bat, causing fatal head injuries, Bernath waited 17 minutes to call emergency services, falsely claiming his father had slipped. flag He later lied to police, alleging self-defense, but a judge rejected the claim as implausible, citing the victim’s age, size, and the fact he had allowed Bernath to live rent-free. flag Evidence showed Bernath hid the weapon, cleaned up, and acted calmly when police arrived. flag The judge called the crime callous and abhorrent, emphasizing the violation of trust in a home meant to be safe. flag Bernath, already in custody for over 18 months, will be eligible for parole after serving 23 years.
