Rodney Lee is destined to die in jail after a Victorian supreme court judge sentenced him to 30 years behind bars
Angry with his neighbours for turning off the hose he used to water the communal garden in their apartment complex, Rodney Lee turned to murder.
Lee’s relationship with neighbours deteriorated in 2020 when he took exception to loud music and the consumption of alcohol in communal spaces. When a new resident moved in the next year, Lee began to make complaints to police about a suspicion the man was cooking and dealing drugs. Issues over the tap peaked in January 2022. Lee struck a man with a garden chair in a confrontation about it being turned off, the court heard.
And he did. Furious about finding the tap turned off again, Lee confronted a group in a social gathering at the units.Photograph: Diego Fedele/AAP
