Jude Wijesinghe Sentence Reduced | Adelaide News

Jude Wijesinghe’s brutal stabbing of co-worker Tshewang Choden at Canberra’s National Zoo has seen a major sentencing shake-up: his original 30-year term, with a 20-year minimum, has been slashed to 26 years and 6 months — reducing his time by 3.5 years and lowering his parole eligibility from 2043 to 2041. The ACT Court of Appeal, in a three-judge panel, made the change without releasing full reasoning yet, though the Chief Justice previously noted his mental illness as a factor while upholding the severity of the crime. Fans of true crime will have to wait for the official rationale behind this significant reduction.
