Seven years for sex death
Elissa Hunt
chief court reporter
A PIMP who choked a customer to death during a sex game could be free in two years.
Peter Godfrey Stein, 56, was convicted of manslaughter for killing postman David MacDouall when a three-way bondage session with Stein's prostitute girlfriend went too far in June 2003.
Mr MacDouall, who was a long-standing client of Stein's girlfriend Catherine Doolan, died when he choked on a gag placed by Stein while he was tied to a bed at Ms Doolan's Queen St, Ormond home.
After Mr MacDouall died Stein left his body, which was clad in women's clothing and wore lipstick, on the bed for days before propping it up in the passenger seat of the Clayton postie's car and driving to a paddock in Tarwin Lower to set him alight.
Mr MacDouall's body was found three weeks after he had died, but it was not until more than a year later that Stein was arrested for the crime.
He was charged with murder, but a Supreme Court jury found him guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter.
Justice Bernard Teague said Mr MacDouall had consented to being restrained during the threesome, but he was helpless once tied and could no longer help himself by the time the gag was applied.
"He was in your hands," the judge told Stein.
Ms Doolan saw Mr MacDouall become distressed once gagged and left the room, but Stein remained.
Mr MacDouall was an only son who was devoted to his mother and had been the central focus of her life. "He had cared for her in ways that would make most mothers very envious," Justice Teague said.
He said Stein, an educated man who arrived in Australia from Germany in 1980, had shown little remorse and his treatment of the body was an aggravating factor.
Justice Teague jailed Stein, who has already served two years awaiting trial, for seven years with a minimum of four years, noting he could be deported when his sentence is over.
whoops.
