A man who stabbed his girlfriend to death, and was then left as a quadriplegic after trying to take his own life, has died of sepsis, a coroner ruled.
Michael Quinn was jailed after murdering Cherie Vize, 25, by knifing her five times in the neck in the front yard of his home in Wollongong, in New South Wales, in July, 2013.
After the attack he then cut his spinal cord as he tried to commit suicide and was left as a quadriplegic.
