Ramzi Aouad is an Australian triple murderer from Sydney, New South Wales, currently serving three sentences of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for the murder of three people in October 2003.
The Murders
The Lawford Street Murders: 14 October 2003
Aouad was convicted, along with Adnan "Eddie" Darwiche, Naseam El-Zeyat and Abass Osman, of the murders of Ziad "Ziggy" Razzak and Mervat Nemra at Greenacre on 14 October 2003. They were killed when the group fired 100 rounds at the house where they were sleeping.
The Murder of Ahmed Fahda: 30 October 2003
Aouad was convicted, along with El-Zeyat, of the murder of Ahmed Fahda at a petrol station in Punchbowl on 30 October 2003. The two men fired 29 rounds at Fahda, killing him.
Sentencing
On 10 November 2006 Aouad, along with El-Zeyat, was sentenced to three counts of life imprisonment with no non-parole period set, Supreme Court Justice Bell noting that "notwithstanding their relative youth, I have determined that the level of culpability of Naseam El-Zeyat and Ramzi Aouad for the commission of each of these three murders is so extreme that the community's interest in retribution, punishment, community protection and deterrence can only be met through the imposition of the maximum sentence."[1]
