)Four men who murdered an Albanian refugee in a botched drug theft in Adelaide's northern suburbs have all been sentenced to at least 20 years in jail.
Benjamin John Mitchell, Alfred Claude Rigney, Matt Bernard Tenhoopen and Aaron Donald Carver murdered Urim Gjabri at his Para Vista home in October 2018, in what Supreme Court judge David Lovell this morning described as a "drug rip".
The men had all been found guilty of murder by a Supreme Court jury last year.
The group broke into the victim's Para Vista home and stole a large amount of cannabis.
During the incident, the victim was struck in the head with an unknown object at least once.
Prosecutors have previously told jurors the victim was found with his "skull caved in".
A fifth man has also been found guilty of the murder and is awaiting sentencing.
Family members sobbed and yelled "love you" to the group as the guards led them to the holding cells.
Justice David Lovell sentenced all four men to life in prison, with non-parole periods of 20 years.
He noted the victim's family, including his wife and children, were still living in Albania and had suffered "profoundly" — both emotionally and financially.
Justice Lovell said the victim suffered injuries to the head and multiple abrasions and bruising to his body, but it was not clear who "inflicted the fatal blow".
"There is no direct evidence as to what occurred inside the house," he said.
Justice Lovell said forensic pathologists had found it could have taken anywhere between three and 24 hours for the victim to die from his injuries.
Prosecutor Robert Walker previously told the court that Mr Gjabri was growing cannabis hydroponically at the Para Vista house when he was "raided late at night and robbed".
The court heard that DNA linked three of the accused to different parts of the crime scene, and CCTV from neighbouring houses showed multiple men approaching the victim's house.
