Curtis Cheng death: Gun supplier given 44 years in jail

A radicalised Muslim follower who supplied the firearm used to kill police accountant Curtis Cheng in an act of terrorism in 2015, has been sentenced to 44 years in jail.

Raban Alou pleaded guilty to aiding, abetting, counselling or procuring a terrorist act by Farhad Jabar, who fatally shot Mr Cheng outside NSW Police Headquarters in Parramatta in 2015.

Redacted crown documents previously alleged that Alou supplied 15-year-old Jabar with a gun at a nearby mosque before the killing on October 2.

Crown prosecutor Paul McGuire SC earlier this year told the NSW Supreme Court that Alou was lacking remorse, had extremist views and poor prospects of rehabilitation.

Three other males have been charged in relation to the killing of Mr Cheng, who died instantly after being shot in the back of the head as he left work.

The Crown previously alleged that Jabar strode back and forth while yelling “Allahu Akhbar” before being shot dead by detectives.
