A man who murdered his wife's lover in an honour killing has been jailed for up to 23 years. Hazairin Iskandar, 58, stabbed Mohd Shah Saemin outside his Leichhardt flat in Sydney's inner-west in 2010. Iskandar stabbed Mr Saemin four times because the 43-year-old consulate driver was having an affair with his wife, Nita. Iskandar had pleaded guilty to manslaughter, but in June the New South Wales Supreme Court found him guilty of murder. His son, Andrew Iskandar, also took part in the attack, bashing Mr Saemin with a hammer. He was found guilty of murder last year and jailed for 18 years. Prosecutors had requested his father's sentence be of a similar length. Nita Iskandar was also convicted last year of helping her son flee to Singapore after the attack.

"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."
