Dean to face sentencing hearing next week TWO of Roger Dean's surviving nursing home victims have since died of unrelated causes, a Sydney court has heard. Dean, 37, appeared in the Supreme Court on Thursday where his case was mentioned briefly. On the first day of his trial last Monday, Dean pleaded guilty to the murders of 11 elderly residents who died as a result of the fires he lit at the Quakers Hill Nursing Home on November 18, 2011. He also admitted to causing grievous bodily harm to a further eight residents who were injured in the blaze, described by paramedics and firefighters as one of the worst scenes they had ever witnessed. Crown prosecutor Mark Tedeschi QC told the court that two of the victims of grievous bodily harm have since died. He said a large number of victim impact statements would be tendered during a three-day sentence hearing next week, some of which will be read out in court. Defence barrister Mark Ierace SC said he could not say at this stage whether Dean should be sentenced on the basis of "reckless indifference to life" or "felony murder." Justice Megan Latham adjourned the matter until next Tuesday.
