A plea and sentencing agreement revealed that Andrew and Karin Fleming had an argument related to his claims that her family was interfering in their marriage. 

The 43-year-old admitted to jumping on the deceased while she was lying on their bed and then grabbing a knife and stabbing her when they fell off. 

The court heard the accused was diagnosed with depression 22 years ago, for which he received medical attention.

He was subsequently diagnosed with bipolar mood disorder and continues to receive medical treatment.

However, George Regional Court handed him 27-years direct imprisonment.
