ANDREW Norman wanted to eat damper and he expected his girlfriend to cook it.
So when she turned her back on him he picked up a knife and stabbed her in the back.
She died at Royal Darwin Hospital later that night.
"The offender argued with the victim, demanding that he cook her food,'' Justice Sally Thomas told the NT Supreme Court in Darwin.
"When she delayed and turned her back, the offender picked up a standard steak knife and stabbed the victim in the middle of her back.''
Norman, aged 29, was today sentenced to seven years and six months in prison, with a non-parole period of three years and nine months.
Norman pleaded guilty to recklessly causing his 40-year-old girlfriend's death on August 18, 2008, after they had been drinking in bushland near Knuckeys Lagoon community.
In the early afternoon they went to a Darwin home to eat.
"I bought a gas stove and flour and I told her to make some damper for me,'' Justice Thomas said Norman told police.
"She was still hanging around so I told her come make some damper for me but she was making me really wild...
"I wake up from my bed and went and stabbed her, stabbed her bad way, yeh.''
But Norman, who comes from a tiny community near Yuendumu in central Australia, told police he did not intend to kill his partner.
"I was going to stab her a little bit, only once,'' he said.
An autopsy found the 10cm stab wound had "passed through her right lung'' and she had a blood alcohol reading of 0.266 per cent.
Justice Thomas said she accepted the fully initiated Aboriginal man, from the Walpiri tribe, had the knife in his hand because he was going to use it to cut up some meat.
"It was an impulsive act. It was not a sustained attack and death resulted from one stab wound,'' she told the court.
Norman will be eligible for parole in 2012.

'I was only going to stab her a little bit'

Oh dear lord, what a horrible story.
10cm wound? I find it hard cutting a thick steak, how can he have only meant to "stab her a little bit" and made such a deep cut?
Sadly this kind of thing happens all too often

That's awful. Seems like he was only given a bit of a jail sentence to go along with the bit of a stabbing.

Yes, I was shocked at the leniency of the sentence. He'll probably be out in 4 years from the looks of things. Talk about getting away with murder

I hate to see the justice in this way; but I hope they stab him "a little bit" in the prison too. I hope they do it many times indeed.

Obviously, drinking and damper don't mix.
BTW, what's damper?

It's a bit too "sconey" for my tastes.
