A father gave an unexpected reply when asked for his thoughts on how long the killer of his three children should be behind bars for.
In 2020, Samuel Davidson killed four children from the same family.
Davidson was under the influence of drink and drugs while behind the wheel when his vehicle mounted the sidewalk where siblings Antony, 13, Angelina, 12, and eight-year-old Sienna Abdallah, as well as their cousin Veronique Sakr, 11, were run down and killed instantly.
The kids had been walking to buy ice cream when the fatal accident occurred five years ago at Oatlands in Sydney’s north-west.
While many parents would struggle to see the man responsible for murdering their children, Danny Abdallah has visited Davidson while he’s been in jail.

Davidson is currently serving a term of 20 years, with a non-parole period of 15 years. Initially, he had been sentenced to 28 years with a non-parole period of 21 years, but this was decreased in 2022 by the New South Wales Court of Criminal Appeal.
The bereaved father recently featured on a 7NEWS Spotlight segment where he was asked if he thinks Davidson should be in jail for as long as he is.
“If it was up to me, I’ll bring him out tomorrow. I know the guy,” Abdallah replied.
“Justice is to have my kids back. That’s all. If you’ve got one day or you’ve got a hundred years, it’s not going to change how I feel.”
But Davidson thinks otherwise.
