Paul Rogers’ four-wheel-drive was taken from his Little Billabong property, near Holbrook, in October by father-and-son fugitives Gino and Mark Stocco.

The duo pleaded guilty to murdering a man near Dunedoo and other serious offences.

The Stoccos, who had earlier shot at police at Mangoplah, near Wagga, used the white Toyota Landcruiser to evade officers as they conducted a major manhunt.

It ended with the duo face down in dirt and their hands secured with cable ties after their arrest and both were charged with murder.

When asked about the development, Mr Rogers laughed “good riddance”. 

“As far as I’m concerned, the law can go as hard as they want on them,” he said.

“It’s not too much to do with me now.

“I’ve moved on.”

Mr Rogers has not followed the case and would prefer not to hear about the violent offenders again.

“I’d rather have not experienced it, but that’s life,” he said.

“I think the law should do whatever it sees fit.”

Mr Rogers was paid out by his insurance company and bought another vehicle.

The pair appeared in Dubbo Local Court on Wednesday seven months after they were captured by police at Elong Elong after a three-week manhunt.

They had been on the run from authorities for eight years, including on the Border, and faced 19 charges from across NSW.

Gino, 58, and Mark, 36, each pleaded guilty to murder.

They also pleaded guilty to two counts of discharging a firearm with intent to resist arrest and to one arson offence.

Magistrate Philip Stewart committed the pair for sentence in the Supreme Court of NSW on August 5.

The Stoccos had committed their crimes together and entered their guilty pleas side-by-side.

They appeared via video link from a correctional centre where they had been remanded in custody on October 29.

Gino’s plea of guilty to the murder of Rosario Cimone at Elong Elong, about 50 kilometres north-east of Dubbo, on October 7 was first, followed by Mark’s plea.

A range of other charges were withdrawn in the court on Wednesday.
