Justin Dilosa who covered up brutal murder of young mum and dumped her body in a creek learns his fate – and the family of victim Danielle Easey are furious

The family of a murdered mother were shocked to hear the man who tried to cover up her murder by callously dumping her body could be released from prison next month.

Justin Kent Dilosa, 37, was sentenced in the NSW Supreme Court on Monday to six years in prison, with a non-parole period of four years, after pleading guilty to accessory after the fact in the murder of Danielle Easey by his ex-partner Carol. Marie McHenry.

However, with Judge Deborah Sweeney reversing the sentence to Dilosa's arrest in September 2019, he will immediately be eligible for parole for his part in covering up the 29-year-old woman's murder on August 17, 2019.

The NSW State Parole Authority later said Dilosa would not be eligible for release until the end of January 2024.

Danielle Easey was murdered on the NSW Central Coast on August 17, 2019, aged 29, and her body was dumped in a creek only to be found two weeks later

As the sentence was read, Mrs Easey's family in the public gallery of the courtroom shouted 'we know you did it' and 'an eye for an eye, you dog', thus the Newcastle Herald.

earlier Ms Easey's mother, Jennifer Collier, read an emotional victim impact statement about Dilosa's actions after finding out she had been fatally knocked down and stabbed by McHenry at her home in Narara, near Gosford in NSW.

Mrs Collier asked why, when Carol told him about the brutal attack on Danielle, he failed to turn the car around and administer first aid.

'Did you call the police or an ambulance? No. You didn't do any of those things. You didn't do anything at all.

She raged at Dilosa for saying he drove to his friend's house, destroyed evidence and took drugs “while my baby, my child, lay dying or dead.” You didn't care'.

Mrs Collier said her daughter's body was wrapped and kept in a car as if she was 'nothing'.

'She was something. She was someone special. Not just for me, but for everyone who knew her. And you threw her away like she was rubbish. You disgusting, evil person.”

Justin Kent Dilosa, 37, was sentenced to six years in prison for his part in disposing of evidence and Easey's body, but now that the sentence is retroactive, he will be eligible for parole in January.

Ms Easey's father, Colin Easey, and her sister, Jessica Douglas, also read emotional victim impact statements on Monday.

Mrs Douglas said her sister was treated like 'trash'.

“How dare you treat her so shamefully. You have no respect for human life and I can't understand it. “You showed us what true evil really is. I hope that every time you close your eyes, you are haunted by Danielle's face and what you did.

Before he was sentenced Monday, Dilosa read a prepared letter in which he claimed he was remorseful for his actions and the “pain and suffering” he had caused.

He said his “thoughtless and insensitive” actions left police unable to return Ms Easey's body to her family.

“I'm sorry I didn't treat Danielle's body with the respect she deserved. My actions were negligent, unforgivable and wrong.

'Daniëlle deserved better. I'm sorry. “I wish I could do something to make Danielle's family and friends feel better, but I know I can't.”

Carol Marie McHenry was jailed for a maximum of 22 years and six months for Easey's brutal murder.

Judge Sweeney said she accepted that Dilosa had been motivated by a “misplaced loyalty” to McHenry and had acted spontaneously, although there was later clear evidence of planning on his part.

She said his “heartless” actions exacerbated the heartache and anguish of Ms Easey's family.

Ms Easey's decomposing body was found on August 31 in a protective suit, wrapped in a down blanket, wrapped in plastic and finally wrapped in duct tape in Cockle Creek near the M1 highway at Killingworth, near the NSW town of Newcastle.

The Central Coast woman had extensive lacerations to the scalp, skull depressions and stab wounds to her back, which the Crown said was consistent with a hammer and knife attack.

Dilosa admitted to driving the car 'makeshift coffin' in which the body was left lying around for several days before being dumped to protect the real killer McHenry, his former partner.

McHenry was found guilty last year of murdering Mrs Easey and defrauding her mother and was given a prison sentence of up to 22 years and six months, with a non-parole period of 15 years and six months, making her first prison sentence in 2035 was eligible for parole.
