A Victorian man who killed two men in a failed drug heist has been jailed for 35 years.
Norden Wilio, 26, and his friend Ali Ali aged 28, had planned to rob a car boot load of marijuana from a dealer, 40-year-old Deniz Hasan, in the Melbourne suburb of Meadow Heights in March 2019.
Mr Hasan had thought the pair were going to buy drugs from him, but they instead dragged him from his car and a scuffle broke out.
Wilio, armed with a sawnoff shotgun, fatally shot Mr Hasan in the head, and Mr Ali in the chest.
Wilio then put his dying friend in a shopping trolley and wheeled him about 800 metres away from the scene.
Justice Andrew Tinney said Wilio had left Hasan for dead, and took his friend Ali on an extraordinary and agonising journey as he died, not to get help, but so he would not get caught by police.
"This was a brazen street attack carried out for reasons of greed," he said.
In December last year a Supreme Court jury found Wilio guilty of murdering both men, as well as attempted armed robbery.
Psychological analysis of Wilio while he was in custody showed he had a borderline mild intellectual disability and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and could not evaluate the risks of undertaking a drug heist.
But Justice Tinney rejected the evidence of the expert psychological witness who tested Wilio, because she had only carried out limited tests, and he said it was impossible to know what his actual IQ really was.
He said Wilio's moral culpability was high and it was hard to fathom why he would shoot a defenceless man in the head with a shotgun at close range.
Justice Tinney noted Wilio had shown no remorse, and during his trial falsely claimed his dead friend was responsible for his crimes and not him.
He also said Wilio had so far been imprisoned in onerous conditions to stop the spread of COVID-19, with no prison visitors for more than two years.
Wilio will serve a non-parole period of 26 years.
