A JUDGE has reserved his decision on child killer Ramazan Acar's attempt to appeal the length of his life sentence with a 33-year minimum term. Acar, 24, was handed the sentence in July last year after pleading guilty to murdering his two-year-old daughter Yazmina.
He has appealed on grounds including the sentence was manifestly excessive.
Acar was dubbed "the Facebook killer" because he posted chilling messages on the social network site about his plans to kill his daughter.
One of his messages read: "bout to kill ma kid".
After abducting Yazmina, he stabbed the little girl and dumped her body.
When sentencing Acar, Justice Elizabeth Curtain told him: "You killed your daughter to get back at her mother".
Acar appeared in the Court of Appeal via video link from Port Phillip Prison today.
His barrister, Gavan Meredith, told Justice Mark Weinberg that the sentence was manifestly excessive for several reasons, including Acar’s remorse, his early guilty plea, his young age and the fact he co-operated with police.
Mr Meredith said the sentencing judge had not taken into account evidence from a psychologist about Acar’s emotional state and underlying personality disorder.
Prosecutor Brett Sonnet said Acar’s crime clearly fell into the worst category of murder and the sentence was open to the judge.
Mr Sonnet submitted that Acar knew his intended actions were demonstrably and terribly wrong.
Justice Weinberg has reserved his decision until next week.

Another example of criminal migrant trash being imported into Australia, who commit crimes on Australian soil, one of murder being the pinnacle of atrocities.
There is also another matter of child 'custody' where the dispute escalated to a stated where the father was no longer able to make rational decisions.
The legal system sees males as agressors, and it is the actions of Acar that support these views.
Some 'backwards' (including the United States), countries see fit to take a life for a life, ie. the death penalty is called upon.
A 33 year minimum means he can be out a lot earlier, as many cases of murder have had the criminal released much ealier than the minimum system.
Criminals are led out into the community by the corrupt legal system, in order to re-offend.
Since Australia has done away with the death penalty, and there is NO turning back, life imprisonment without parole should be the only alternative.
