This wasn't the average robbery.

So today's sentence can't undo what has happened to my grandparents, but we believe it recognises the seriousness of the crimes and devastating impact that they had on our family.
For twenty six long years we asked the one thing that those responsible be found and be held accountable.
Today this has finally happened.
There is no celebration.
There is relief and gratitude, but also a deep sadness for everything our family has gone through and lost along the way.
Today belongs to Irma and Gregor.
After 26 years, they finally have justice.
This wasn't the average robbery.
The brutality of the attack shocked the community.
Violently assaulted before the two men ransacked the premises and stole cash and jewellery.
My grandparents were beaten and my grandmother was left to die on the lounge room floor.
Oh, look, Stockie, I think from the family's perspective, we're just happy that there's a conviction of something.
Yeah, we would have loved to have received a murder conviction for both of the offenders, but manslaughter to us is just good enough, I suppose, for now, because it's not the only charge that they've been found guilty of.
So we're more interested in finding out what the actual sentencing is going to be for these two offenders, more so than what it actually means to murder versus manslaughter.
Look, I loved my grandparents so much.
I had such a good relationship with them.
