Garry Thompson Back in Prison
from Sydney News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Garry Thompson, the man convicted of murdering Jodi-Ann Trueman in 1999, has been sentenced to an additional 12 months in prison after repeatedly failing drug tests while on parole. Originally given life with 18 years non-parole, Thompson was released twice in 2021 and 2022, only to be returned each time for drug violations — including self-reported use allegedly linked to a work injury and ADHD. Despite securing employment and staying clean for two years, he tested positive again in 2023, leading to the cancellation of his parole. Justice Rachael Gray noted his remorse and lack of other offenses, but warned that drug use remains a serious risk. Thompson, now 54, will be eligible for another parole review in September.
