A Queanbeyan man who brutally beat his mother's ex-boyfriend and then dumped the body in the Queanbeyan River has been jailed for 22 years for murder.
Police divers found the body of Danny Ralph, 46, in the Queanbeyan River in March 2008.
He had been consistently and brutally bashed and, while probably still alive, thrown from a bridge into the river.
Benjamin Wayne Holcroft, 27, was found guilty of the murder in April.
While sentencing Holcroft today, Justice Robert Hulme said the beating was so savage it caused multiple brain haemorrhages, a broken vertebrae, rib and jaw, as well as bleeding in the scrotum and brain stem.
He said the beating was repulsive and gave Holcroft a non-parole period of 17 years jail.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
