Frightening details emerge about moment ex-speedway racer killed his sister's ... trends now
A former teenage speedway racing champion killed his sister's abusive boyfriend 'out of panic and fear', a judge has been told.
After stabbing his victim Jesse Tattersall twice, Tyler King told his sister, 'No one's going to f***en' hit you again, no one's going to hurt you again' before stabbing Tattersall a third time.
Prosecutor Brendan Queenan told Newcastle Supreme Court on Friday that King was showing his sister Tenille how he intended to kill Tattersall because of what he had been doing to her.
But defence barrister Peter Krisenthal argued King would not have let Tattersall leave the duplex and try to get help from a neighbour after being stabbed if he had intended to kill him.
Mr Krisenthal said King, 27, of Budgewoi, who pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Tattersall, 33, at Hamlyn Terrace on September 8, 2022, was remorseful and understood the impact his actions had had on his victim's family.
'The offence was reactionary, borne out of panic and fear,' the defence barrister said.
