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.
