Daniel Hasapis found guilty of murder after violent assault on victim

·

Daniel Paul Hasapis, an ice addict from Wyong, has been found guilty of murder after fatally assaulting Sean Froggatt at his unit on January 27, 2023.

The NSW Supreme Court heard that Froggatt had visited Hasapis to deliver cannabis and smoke some, but Hasapis, who had been buying ice in Sydney, returned home to find items missing.

He then confronted Froggatt, subjecting him to a violent assault, including whipping him with a chain, punching, and kicking him.

Justice Natalie Adams stated that Hasapis’ motive was driven by anger over the missing items and a desire for psychological satisfaction.

Froggatt suffered serious injuries, including trauma to his head, and was later found deceased in the unit.

Hasapis, who initially pleaded not guilty, was convicted based on evidence that he intended to cause harm. He also pleaded guilty to a separate assault charge. The sentencing is scheduled for June 27.
