Murray Hearne was 18 when a foiled drug deal with off-duty police saw him stab two police officers in Sydney, killing one and critically injuring the other.
Constable Peter Forsyth was a father-of-two, a much-loved husband and well-respected police officer.
On that fatal night in 1998, Hearne took a knife to Forsyth’s heart, stabbing him twice and ending his life in the most violent manner.
Forsyth was walking home from after-work drinks, was unarmed and went to arrest Hearne upon being offered ecstasy from the then teenager.

A piece of excrement. Him and his wife. Just goes to show prison psychologists and social workers are all a disgrace, no more ethical or moral than the animals in prison. How dare he murder such a fine man, how dare he maim another fine man, such a nothing. And how dare she give validation to the suggestion that he is in any way a human being who deserve oxygen. Disgusting, both of them. I hope they both experience pain in their lives equivalent to the family of the extraordinary man he saw fit to kill.
Wait, one prison psychologist behaves badly, and suddenly ALL prison psychologists and social workers are a disgrace? That's one hell of a generalisation!
It's a bit much to tar all prison social workers and psychologists with the same brush because of one woman's (admittedly) extremely questionable choices.
How can they ALL be a disgrace based one the actions of one person?
How do you know the psychologist behaved badly? How does the OP know that the police man was a 'fine man'? Hell of a lot of assumptions being made on the strength of this frothy little article. He served his time, expressed remorse, and spent half his life in prison.
