The child – who does not wish to be named or identified – said their dad deserved life for stabbing his friend in a jealous attack.

"I never want to see the man again – I think it is disgusting that he pleaded not guilty to the murder charge."

"Michael had children that he loved and was needed to look after them. He also had grandchildren. He should have been given life for what he has done to that family – he took a life so that would have been justice."

Pakulski's child does not intend to write to him or visit him during his time in prison.

They also added that they were disgusted to hear about Pakulski and partner Parker-Brown's affectionate exchanges in the dock while Sanderson's family looked on.

"If she is the cause of all this, how could they sit there and kiss each other? All they were doing is rubbing their noses in it at court. I think it's disgusting."

Pakulski's family member remembered that he was nothing but kind and caring before the incident in November last year.

"He was very loving towards me and was a gentle man. I cannot believe he would do anything like this. It has come completely out of the blue."

The person – who is one of eight children and did not want identifying in any way – added that they knew little about their father's involvement in the extreme right-wing group Wolf's Hook.

"I knew my dad was involved in something, but I do not really know much about what he was into. I have absolutely nothing to do with that group, I think it is disgusting – it repulses me."

"I have cut myself off from him now. I just want to try and forget what he has done. I never want to see him again."
