A man has been jailed for a maximum of 44 years over a fatal stabbing rampage through Sydney's CBD.
Mert Ney pleaded guilty to three charges including the murder of Michaela Dunn, who was stabbed to death in a Clarence Street apartment in August 2019.
Ms Dunn's mother Joanne dropped her head and wept in the NSW Supreme Court a life sentence was ruled out.
Justice Peter Johnson found Ney's mental health issues contributed to his offending and sentenced him to 44 years jail with a non-parole term of 33 years.
