Sydney woman Hannah Quinn has today been handed a two-year community corrections order over her involvement in the samurai sword killing.

The situation that ensued after the break-in was horrific. Jett McKee pulled a gun on Davis and his girlfriend, Quinn, screaming threats and demanding money. Eventually Blake was hit by the gunman, passing out, before the gunman tried to grab Quinn's handbag.

After winning the fight and running off with the bag, Quinn chased down the assailant and it was then that she claims he turned the gun on her.

At the same time, Davis regained consciousness waking up to Quinn's's screams on the street. Panicking, he grabbed a decorative samurai sword and ran out to see Quinn and McKee in the middle of the street.

"He said, 'I'm going to kill you. I know where your family live,'" Davis tells reporter Tara Brown.

"I kept thinking, 'He's going to kill her'."

Quinn tells 60 Minutes that when she saw McKee get up from the ground after the samurai sword attack, she believed he was going to continue attacking the pair.

"I turned to Blake and I said 'run'."

The couple claims it was an act of self-defence, however their actions following the attack have been questionable.

Instead of reporting the incident to the police, the couple went on the run for three days carrying suspicious items like nunchucks, a toy pellet gun and over $20,000 dollars in cash.

But regardless of their convictions, the couple say that they're not violent criminals.

Davis was acquitted of murder but found guilty of manslaughter and handed a maximum sentence of five years and three months. Quinn was found guilty of being an accessory after the fact to manslaughter.

Hannah Quinn told 60 Minutes she feared McKee was going to continue the attack.

"At no point did I think I was going to be labelled as a murderer," Davis said.

"I'll live with that for the rest of my life."
