Barbaro's brutal killing of his girlfriend in 2020 was described by the judge as a 'senseless and cruel crime'.

Ricardo Barbaro, 38, was found guilty of murdering his girlfriend, Ellie Price, in April 2020 and has been sentenced to 28 years in prison.
Ellie Price, 26, was discovered with multiple stab wounds in her South Melbourne apartment after a welfare check by police.
