Hammer killer gets 20 years jail for Australian's murderSUPPLIEDA Western Australia man who killed his cannabis dealer by bashing his head with a hammer at least 21 times has been jailed for 20 years. Davies lashed out with the hammer he'd used to prise the window open, hitting Stack forcefully in the eye. Justice Fiannaca said Davies must serve 20 years behind bars before he can be eligible for parole. The court heard Davies - who claimed he was drug-affected as he'd stayed awake on methylamphetamine for four days before the attack - continued to rob the house after the murder. "You continued to rain blows in his head with the hammer as he lay on the floor," Justice Fiannaca said.
