Rian Toyer Gets 12 Months In Jail For Manslaughter of Mhelody Bruno
Former Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Corporal Rian Ross Toyer, convicted for the manslaughter of trans woman Mhelody Bruno, has been jailed for at least for 12 months. Toyer, 33, had pleaded guilty to manslaughter charges for choking Filipina trans woman Mhelody Bruno to death during a sex act on September 21, 2019. Justice Gordon Lerve admitted to an error in earlier sentencing Toyer to an intensive correction order and 500 hours of community service that let him avoid jail time for the crime. The Wagga Wagga District court on Monday sentenced Toyer to 22 months’ jail, with a non-parole period of 12 months.
