Jeffrey Barman, 24, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for murder and another year for assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and two common assault counts.
High Court Judge Christie Liebenberg emphasised that the court considered the domestic setting of the crimes, since Barman was in a relationship with the deceased, Melanie Booysen, and had a child with her who is now four years old.
Barman was found guilty of murder, two counts of attempted murder, a count of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and common assault.
