Melbourne man jailed for double murder after garden hose dispute with neighbours

Rodney Lee is destined to die in jail after a Victorian supreme court judge sentenced him to 30 years behind bars

Lee was jailed for 30 years on Monday, having pleaded guilty to murdering Saumotu Gasio, 62, and Tibor Laszlo, 57 at their Melbourne public housing complex in January last year.
