Melbourne local Borce Ristevski has been sentenced for nine years in jail for manslaughter. On June 29, 2016, he killed his own wife, dumped her body but, never accepted any involvement in her disappearance.
After his wife went missing for 24 hours, Borce Ristevski reported to the Victorian police. However, Mr. Ristevski himself came under suspicion as his statements were contradictory and misleading among police, family, and friends.
Throughout the investigation, the man shamefully went on to “rant and rave about police and media”. And until the eve of his trial, Borce Ristevski claimed his innocence and non-involvement in the crime.
Ristevski’s wife’s dead body was discovered in February 2017. Following the discovery, Justice Christopher Beale originally sentenced Borce Ristevski for six years without parole.
Initially, the Melbourne man was charged with murder but, this morning he was pleaded guilty to manslaughter. He has already served 491 days in jail but, he could be free from jail in less than five years.

He went on to stress the subject of domestic violence. Williams’s voice is supported by domestic violence organizations including the likes of ‘No to Violence’.
