Ramazan Acar, Australian 'Facebook Killer,' Gets Life Sentence For Murdering Daughter After Social Media Threats (VIDEO)

An Australian man dubbed the "Facebook killer" after posting he was "bout to kill ma kid" on the social media site before repeatedly stabbing his two-year-old daughter and leaving her to die has been sentenced to life in prison.

As the Newcastle Herald is reporting, Ramazan Acar, 24, repeatedly taunted his ex-partner, Rachelle D'Argent, on the night he killed their daughter Yazmina, known as "Mimi," with Facebook status updates, text messages and phone calls in November 2010. Acar is said to have killed his daughter shortly after the original posting, and followed up with "payback u slut."

The AFP reports that Acar had picked up Yazmina at D'Argent's home earlier that day, telling her was taking the girl to a local candy shop. After taking Yazmina, Acar communicated with D'Argent by phone and via a bizarre series of text messages, at one point telling her she would not get her child back and asking whether he should kill the girl in a car crash or stab her. "How does it feel to not have your child when I did not have mine for three months?" he is quoted as saying. He also said: "I loved you Rachelle and look what you've made me do."

Melbourne Magistrates Court Justice Elizabeth Curtain reportedly called the crime "chilling and horrific," and said life in prison was the only appropriate sentence for Acar, who had pleaded guilty:

"More than that, the victim was your infant daughter, and she was killed by the one man in the world whose duty it was to love, nurture and protect her,'' Justice Curtain said. "As such, your conduct was a fundamental breach of the trust that reposes between parent and child, a fundamental breach of a parent's most fundamental obligation.

"Further, you committed this murder for the worst possible motives - revenge and spite. You killed your daughter to get back at her mother. You used your daughter, an innocent victim, as the instrument of your overarching desire to inflict pain on your former partner.''

After the verdict was read, D’Argent reportedly spoke tenderly to her dead daughter while clutching a photo. "Mimi, it’s our day today,” she said. "Mummy told you there would be justice for you...and even though I haven't accepted that you're not here, forever you'll be in my heart and I know you'll always be smiling down on all of us."

While in custody, Acar also reportedly told police he wanted to kill himself as well, but "did not have the balls."

What a coward, this 'man' took out revenge on the only person in his life who would never hurt him, fight against him, or do anything other than 'love daddy.'

Coward does not begin to describe this guy.

He shows a deeply ingrained gender bias against women, both his wife and daughter.
They are (were) nothing more than property to him.

It is sad when children become the collateral damage of their parent's dysfunctional relationship. There can never be a good ending when parents hate each other more than they love their children.

Having looked at only some comments, I may be repeating others, but I was pleasantly suprised for him to get 33yrs as it's pretty rare to get this amount of time nowadays here in oz.
Similar crimes have attracted 20-25yrs, less with parole.

I'd be VERY happy to be proven wrong with my impression of undue leniency of our justice system....

When did the "death penalty" stop meaning just that? Here is the good ole' U S of A, we really love to mess around with certain terms: death penalty only means you gotta stay in prison a certain amount of years! Why don't they put that person to DEATH, when that is the sentence.

The sentence is not good enough. Hopefully someone will stab him to death in prison....slowly.

That kind of comment sort of lowers you to his level, doesn't it?

No it does not. Do not confuse vindication with a supposition of equal immorality.

In My opinion, no it does not. He deserves it. The child did not. But of course you think what you will. Makes no difference to me.

So he kills his daughter as payback for his partner hurting him. Now he's in prison with little to no chance of ever having another child. While his ex-partner is free to have plenty more. I don't think he thought this through.

Hard to believe someone is capable of this crime. Seeing some of the posts here proves there are a lot of people out there who feel they're capable of a lot of creepy stuff too.

The MSM clearly hate talking about it, but there is almost always alcohol, dope, or both involved in cases like this.
People who don't abuse substances don't abuse children or murder them either - with perhaps one or two exceptions where genetic defects can be involved.

Perhaps the "MSM" are more clearly concerned with reporting attributable, provable facts about the story, rather than sensationalising the story with loaded conjecture, or non-sequitur arguments that don't withstand serious scrutiny.

the Justice spoke the truth, but we need to know do we hurt our children? and we need to stop this in some way .Children are pure and good and innocent, they have only us they can trust in the world, we their parents whose duty it is to love, nurture and protect them,, why are we failing miserably? we better find out because children are our ONLY future. we will reap what we sow

I was going to make a joke about putting this on facebook "going out and killing people, I'll be back in three hours", but this is actually just sad. I feel sorry for the family.

You sound like you're near the edge but not over the brink, get yourself some help before you 'joke' youself into trouble.

Very sad that he would do this. Also the little girl had nothing to do with whatever the woman did...why wouldn't you go after the woman instead....not saying it's justified ...but saying the logic isn't there. It also makes me wonder what she did. Like seriously society is moving towards just no relationships at all, humans are proving to be to stupid to have any kind of meaningful relationship anymore. stay single, use protection, don't trust anyone, and seriously getting married seems like the worse thing you can do to yourself nowadays.

The logic was that one can cause far more trauma by hurting those around the person, than hurting that person directly.

The American wingers sure love their capital punishment. Most of comments on this thread are below contempt.

[Damian Blankenship]

So, number one, shove the 'American wingers' generalization up your bigoted ass.

Number two, you think COMMENTS (just words, follow me now) not STABBING A
2 TWO YEAR OLD TO DEATH, are 'below contempt'. Pretty sure actions are a little bit
more deserving of contempt, rather than an OPINION about punishment.

On the contrary I was mystified by how such an inhuman act could have been committed.
After reading some of the comments here however, I now have been a clearer picture of the pathology driving the perpetrator's inhumanity.

I retired, in 1999, from the sheriff's department, after 20+ years, thinking, then, that I had seen EVERY despicable act man could do to another person!! Lately, I read of fathers killing babies, mothers MICROWAVING their children, and the list goes ON and ON!! No wonder so many police offers " bite the bullet", one way or another!!! A sane person cannot deal with this C$$P on a daily basis, and NOT be affected by it!! I was affected by the CHILDREN who begged me to " not take their dad to jail", after the jerk just demolished his wife's face!! CHILDREN are the TRUE innocent victims of crimes, AND is self perpetuating!! Seeing violence leads to INCREASED violence!!
