The mother of a 16-year-old fatally bashed in brutal retribution for allegedly stealing AirPods burst into tears and stared down one of the adult ring-leaders after a court found the pair guilty of murder.
Kayla Dawson, 22, and Richard Sione, 34, were convicted on Monday of teenager Jason Galleghan's murder, which occurred inside Dawson's western Sydney Doonside home on August 6, 2021.

Dawson, who was appearing via audiovisual link from a prison, only nodded briefly as the sentence was passed, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Sione led the assault on Jason, which was then taken up by five teenagers who referred to him as 'uncle' or 'dad'.
The assault lasted for more than half an hour, however only about seven minutes was recorded.

Jason died of injuries from two days later in hospital.
Dawson believed Jason had stolen her AirPods and lured the boy into the prepared retaliatory ambush from a western Sydney train station.
She then filmed and shared video of the savage beating.
