Emergency services were called to the Uniting Retirement Villiage in Lindfield, in Sydney’s north, about 7.40pm on Sunday. Two elderly residents had been trapped by the blaze, which had broken out in a top-floor unit. Three police officers battled through the smoke and flames to rescue the two residents, identified as 99-year-old Peter Goldman and Gary Marshall, 82, from a balcony.

Fattah was accused of performing medically unnecessary examinations on the women for his own sexual gratification but argued at trial each had a “proper medical purpose”. A District Court jury in May found him guilty of 13 counts of sexual intercourse without consent and five counts of assault with act of indecency. He was found not guilty of 12 other offences.

Judge Sharon Harris on Friday set a minimum non-parole period of 11 years, meaning that, with time served, Fattah won’t be eligible for parole until October 2028.
