Two brothers who destroyed their family home to stop their sister from getting a cut of their parents' estate have been slammed by a judge. Garry, 59, and Malcolm Taylor, 57, travelled from Hervey Bay in Queensland to Murtoa in regional Victoria to destroy the house left to them as inheritance the day before it went to auction in March, 2019. The destruction, which was filmed by the brothers much to their 'amusement', was to rob their sister Kerrie, 61, of any money made as a result of the sale. 'You were laughing while you destroyed your sister's inheritance. Now the world is laughing at you for your stupidity,' County Court Judge Michael Cahill told them on Friday. The brothers were each fined $10,000 after admitting charges of theft and criminal damage.

According to court documents, Malcolm called the real estate agent handling the sale in November 2018 claiming Kerrie 'killed his mother' and that he would 'continue to take items from the house until there was nothing left'. During a pre-sentence hearing the court heard Malcolm Taylor was genuinely remorseful for his actions that day. But ahead of the sentencing prosecutors tried to squash that argument, pointing Judge Cahill to a media report in which Malcolm Taylor replied 'absolutely not' when asked by a reporter if he regretted his actions. Lawyer Mike Anderson, who appeared with both men by video link from Hervey Bay, instead said Malcolm Taylor had been harassed by the media over the incident, which was reported around the world. 'If Your Honour had any worry about the concept of deterrent, the media have done that,' he said. 'There's no way these men will ever offend again.' The whole incident has been a costly affair for the brothers. It was estimated the total loss to the estate was around $60,000 - a $20,000 loss each. They also agreed in May 2019 to pay their sister a 'reasonable' amount to compensate her for her lost inheritance. Pictured: The Taylor's Murtoa house before Garry and Malcolm destroyed it using an excavator before it could go to auction in March 2019 The Taylor brothers' 'renovations' of the home were the result of a years-long and 'deep seated' battle with their sister, who was the executor of their parents' estate. Their mother Lois died in December 2013, leaving her estate in the hands of daughter Kerrie - a decision Garry and Malcolm challenged. The family war kicked off when Garry and Malcolm were told their children would receive $10,000 in trust payments as part of the estate. As a result the men went on a 30-minute 'tirade of destruction' using an excavator to destroy foundations of the home, rip down walls, smash through windows, and roll a water tank down the road. The house was sold on December 12, 2018, for $99,000, but intentional water damage saw the buyer cancel their purchase before the settlement date. It was then slated to go under the hammer on March 29, 2019, until Garry and Malcolm stepped in. 'I bet it don't look like that at 12 noon Friday,' Malcolm messaged Garry, as shown in court documents. The home after Garry and Malcolm destroyed it with an excavator (pictured Malcolm) The men went on a 30-minute 'tirade of destruction' using an excavator to destroy foundations of the home, rip down walls, smash through windows, and roll a water tank down the road The pair arrived at the mother's home on Thursday March 28 and began the destruction. Malcolm graffitied 'Lois was murdered here' on her bedroom wall and sprayed the outline of a body on the floor, according to court documents. He denied any knowledge of the graffiti in court. No legitimate basis for the allegation that Lois was murdered was mentioned in court documents and the Taylors' sister was never charged in connection with it. Malcolm then removed the water tank attached to the house and rolled it down the street while Garry filmed laughing. They then took turns demolishing the house with the rented excavator, with the other filming when not using the machine. At one stage Malcolm yells 'charge' as he rams the excavator into the wall of the home. Both brothers laughed maniacally in court-released footage as they tore down the property. Court documents alleged the brothers took selfies inside the destroyed home after they were finished.

Garry told Leading Senior Constable Michael Baldock they 'had to make sure them (sic) renovations were right before tomorrow'. 'We are both tradesmen but we're f**king rough,' Garry said of the damage. Malcolm then sends a message to their sister saying: 'Renovations have begun'. Garry and Malcolm then drove to the MCG to watch an AFL match, posting a selfie from the ground with the caption 'few beers at the footy after a hard days renovating'. They were arrested the next morning before they could fly back to Queensland. Malcolm was found to be in possession of eight grams of marijuana, which he described as 'a little bit of dope, enough to roll a joint' that was used to help him sleep.

Malcolm was also charged with drug possession and an additional theft charge. They pleaded guilty to criminal damage charges. Judge Michael Cahill said in Victorian County Court the brothers' destruction was 'an entirely irrational response', according to the Herald Sun, given denying their sister $30,000 in the house's sale would see them lose a combined $60,000 as a result. 'Family disputes bring out the worst in people,' he said. All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
