NRL star 'almost died' from punching window after 'seeing ex performing oral sex on teammate'

Former National Rugby League (NRL) player Michael Lichaa 'almost died' after slashing himself on a window he punched when he saw his then-girlfriend allegedly performing oral sex on a team-mate.

That's what a court heard on Friday when Lichaa, 29, described the alleged events that led to him being charged with domestic violence offences. Lichaa was engaged to Kara Childerhouse in February 2021 when he woke up in the early hours following a day of heavy drinking and said he witnessed her cheating in his garden.

“I couldn’t get the image of my fiancee performing oral sex on my best friend out of my mind,” Lichaa told the court on Friday. One witness previously told the court they heard a man say "I’m going to f*****g kill her" on the night.
