DENPASAR - A Bali court has jailed an Indonesian man for 15 years over a frenzied stabbing attack that killed Australian woman Heidi Murphy.
Prosecutors had sought a life jail term for Ahmad Fahrul Rosi, who admitted stabbing Murphy at her Bali villa on February 10 this year.
During his trial in the Denpasar District Court, Rosi begged for forgiveness and said he never intended to kill the Australian, only to steal from her to pay for his wedding.
The court today handed him a 15-year term, after taking into account his remorse and the fact he had apologised to Murphy's family, judges and prosecutors.
Rosi's alleged accomplice, 28-year-old Indonesian construction worker Nuryanto Bin Sudar, is due to face court again on Wednesday.
Murphy, who ran a clothing business in Bali, was stabbed dozens of times when she woke to find Rosi robbing her home.
