In the Supreme Court of Queensland, R v Rajek [2024] QSC 63 involved the sentencing of Anthony Daniel Rajek for attempted murder. Rajek, who had no previous interactions with the victim and was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the attack, was sentenced to 13 years and six months in prison. The attack, described as coldblooded and deliberate, occurred without any apparent reason or provocation. Despite Rajek's complex mental health issues and a history of trauma, the court found these factors did not justify his actions. The offence was declared a serious violent offence, emphasizing the court's prioritisation of community safety.
