Rohan Dennis Criticized Over 'Absolute Weapon' Instagram Posts After Wife's Death

South Australia’s victims’ rights chief called the caption deeply offensive given his suspended sentence.

Overview

  • Dennis returned to Instagram with a photo of a black Porsche captioned "What an absolute weapon."
  • He followed with a second post showing his children and wrote "Two absolute weapons."
  • Victims' Rights Commissioner Sarah Quick said the language showed a profound lack of respect and a lack of insight into the harm caused.
  • Dennis pleaded guilty in 2025 to an aggravated act likely to cause harm, receiving a 17‑month term suspended on a two‑year good‑behaviour bond and a driving disqualification.
  • The judge said he was not criminally responsible for Melissa Hoskins' death during a 2023 dispute outside their Adelaide home, though he should have stopped the car.
