A former Upper Hutt man, now living in Southern Australia, has been jailed for at least 20 years after strangling his partner in a jealous rage.
Toby Awatere, 37, was today sentenced for the brutal domestic violence murder of Jackline Ohide, 27, during a heated row at their Adelaide home
in March 2015.
The Advertiser reported in March that a Supreme Court jury found him guilty of the 2015 murder of Ohide.
He fled after dumping her body in a friend's car and placing their two sleeping sons in the back seat.
The boys, than aged 4 and 1, discovered their dead mother when they woke several hours later and raised the alarm by beeping the car horn until a neighbour came to their aid and called police.
