A schizophrenic Australian man stabbed a prostitute to death and then had sex with her body, a court heard Friday.
Malcolm Robert Potts, 42, was sentenced to 21 years in prison by the New South Wales Supreme Court for the murder of Emma King in Ashfield town, nine kilometres from Sydney, in September 2008, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
Potts told the jury he had arranged for King to come to his place for sex after agreeing on a price Sep 14, 2008.
When King arrived, he was reluctant and told her he did not wish to proceed. But she phoned her friends and told him: ‘You either produce the money or we’re taking your stuff.’
Potts was much larger than King. She felt threatened and picked up a knife from among many weapons – tomahawks, swords, knives, sticks – which were stacked in a corner. Potts, however, overpowered and disarmed his much smaller victim, the court heard.
