An Australian man has been sentenced to life in jail for murdering six people and injuring 27 more in a vehicle attack in Melbourne.

The 29-year-old deliberately ploughed a stolen car into pedestrians in the city centre in January 2017.

He later told a court in a confusing speech that he had carried out the attack.

The judge described it as one of the worst mass murders in Australian history.

He will be eligible for parole after 46 years.
