What the court heard
He pleaded guilty to manslaughter by diminished responsibility in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, on 12 September 2019. The judge said: "[The victim] did what she could to help him with his mental health issues but it all became too much for her to cope with and she ended their relationship... you ... ambushed her, attacked her with a knife and then repeatedly stabbed her as she lay prone on the floor, ending her young life... You are... a very dangerous man"
