HASAN DASTAN
Hasan Dastan was found dead in a pool of blood within his Esy Auto Dismantlers business on the morning of December 11, 1995.
A metal pipe was shoved six centimetres into his mouth and his severe head injuries were consistent with an attack using a bloodied sledgehammer that lay nearby.
Police scoured the Blacktown premises for days looking for clues, but couldn’t piece it together.
One of the suspects in the murder was employee Kubilay Kilincer, who helped police with their investigation.
Though he wasn’t charged with murder until more than 20 years later.
A few days before Mr Dastan’s death, Kilincer had stolen $1000 a customer had given him for repairs on their car.
When Mr Dastan found out, he demanded Kilincer return the money or he would be fired.
Three days later Kilincer brutally bashed his boss to death.
He then stole more than $4500 from his Mr Dastan’s wallet and the cash register.
Kilincer didn’t face court until 2022 but was found guilty of murder and sentenced to a maximum of 22 years in jail.
RICHARD PIECH
The love of cold hard cash got the better of Sneza Suteski, who stopped at nothing to keep her pockets lined.
As the accounts clerk for Kogarah car dealership Newmans, Suteski stole more than $280,000 in just seven months.
She wanted to keep going without being caught by her boss, Richard Piech, so hired hit man Whalid Irani to give him “a little touch up”.
The then 22-year-old followed Mr Piech from the St George Leagues Club to his Carlton unit to attack him on December 20, 1999.
But after the 51-year-old survived two blows with a hammer which then broke, Irani lashed out with a knife, fatally stabbing him.
Suteski stole more than $21,000 on the day she learned of Mr Piech’s death.
Suteski claimed she never wanted her boss dead, just hurt enough so he wasn’t at work for a while.
None of the money could be traced, with police believing it was gambled away.
No one believed her and she was sentenced to a minimum of 18 years in prison.
Irani was sentenced to a minimum of 20 years.
DAVID DUNCAN
Saso Krstevski would be the last bloke up for employee of the month.
With a slack work ethic and poor attendance, the factory worker was close to getting sacked from his job at Hydrotech Ink in Botany Bay.
But then his boss, David Duncan, found out Krstevski was also stealing from the business.
Krstevski had stolen cheques worth several thousand dollars when he told friends he was going to kill Mr Duncan and forge a cheque worth $25,000 after the job.
Mr Duncan, a father-of-four, was crouched down and mixing ink while on the phone to a friend when he was repeatedly struck over the head and body with a heavy metal object.
The January 24, 2001 attack was over in just 45 seconds.
Mr Duncan suffered a fractured skull and “massive brain injuries” in the sickening beating.
Krstevski then placed Mr Duncan’s body in an ink barrel, sealed it and cleaned up the mess with ammonia.
Mr Duncan’s friend, who was on the phone to him when he was attacked, arrived at the factory and called the police when he couldn’t see his mate.
Krstevski was found guilty of murder and sentenced to a maximum of 24 years in jail.
He was deported back to his native Macedonia upon parole.
