Melbourne addict jailed for stabbing death

A heroin addict who fatally stabbed a Melbourne man in the back during an argument will spend at least 16 years behind bars.

Sunshine North man Rasim Vikic murdered 31-year-old Leigh Graham in July 2015.

He was sentenced on Monday by Supreme Court Justice Paul Coghlan to 20 years in prison, with a non-parole period of 16 years, and his term of imprisonment was backdated by 433 days for time already served.
