The Case Of · The Two Intruders | Irma Palasics killers sentenced · 31 Aug 2026 podcast

Nobody knows who did that.

But

Uh the judge said that uh he must have had knowledge of the success of it, and that made it worth travelling from Melbourne to Canberra to carry out a burglary on this particular couple.

So he's attributed some significance to that first burglary, which which was interesting in the scope of the case.

Uh he also rejected

suggestions that Fabrizi had been crime free, talking about him being

actively participating in what he thought was a criminal syndicate, he also rejected the prosecution's call for a maximum sentence, so he said

uh it didn't really meet the threshold for that, for manslaughter.

But he did reflect on the gravity of the crime.

you know, carried out on an elderly couple in their own home, minding their own business.

And uh and he reflected also on what it's done to the family, the devastating impact it's had on the family.

So one of the other things Justice Moss found was that uh far from being the lookout outside

Steve Fabrizzi and Joseph Coney were inside the house.

Any notion that Steve Fabrizi didn't know Irma was lying on the ground where she was

he rejected, you know, no cupboard doors were open blocking his view or anything like that.

He said the two were communicating as they searched the house and they would each have had to have stepped over Irma to get into the rest of the house.

So uh all of that was thrown out the window as well.

Yes, that's right.

So they were each charged with aggravated burglary, armed robbery, forcible confinement from when they tied up the couple, and a charge of actual bodily harm.

And Joseph Vacconey, as you will recall, was involved in the earlier burglary and found guilty of two charges there as well.
