A man who broke into an elderly woman's unit on Queensland's Gold Coast before killing her and sexually interfering with her corpse has been jailed for 13 years.
Maurizio Perini, 38, killed Carmel Wuth, 76, at the Trinity Gardens Retirement Hostel at Southport in March 2008.
Perini was living at the hostel at the time but was to be evicted, later telling police he killed Ms Wuth so that he would go to jail and have somewhere to live.
He also said that if he had not been arrested he would have killed another resident.
The court heard Perini was intellectually disabled and his moral compass pointed in the wrong direction.
Justice James Douglas said that was evidenced in the cold and emotionless way Perini described his crimes to police.
Justice Douglas jailed Perini for 13 years and declared him a serious violent offender.
'Seeking advice'
Queensland Attorney General Cameron Dick is seeking advice about the adequacy of the sentence imposed on Perini.
He says the case involves very serious and complex matters, including a rulling by the Mental Health Court that the offender had an abnormality of mind.
An appeal can be lodged within 28 days from the day of sentencing.
