Man on Trial for Stabbing Ex in Gym Parking Lot

0:00A 47-year-old Sydney man faces trial for allegedly stabbing his former girlfriend with intent to murder in a gym car park in Alexandria back in May of last year. The attack happened in an underground lot where he waited about 40 minutes before approaching her car and stabbing her several times in the head, neck and chest. Her injuries needed stitches but didn't hit any major arteries. She had ended their short relationship after finding messages from other women on his phone and he wouldn't take no for an answer, bombarding her, with calls and messages across platforms even after she called him obsessive. Police issued a non-contact order in April but he breached it twice, pleading guilty to those charges and getting a stern warning from a magistrate. About jail time if he kept it up. Prosecutors say by then he knew winning her back was hopeless and snapped while his lawyers argue he was just confused in the moment and never meant to kill her. The District Court trial rolls on.
