A Sydney man who stabbed his wife 14 times after seeing sexual messages from their friend on her phone has been found guilty of her murder, with a judge rejecting he was substantially impaired by a depressive illness at the time.
Shahab Ahmed, 35, had pleaded not guilty in the NSW Supreme Court to murdering his wife, Khondkar Fariha Elahi, 29, in their Parramatta unit in February 2017, claiming the partial defence of substantial impairment by abnormality of mind. But Justice Monika Schmidt, who presided over his trial without a jury, today found this defence had not been established.
Ahmed stabbed his wife repeatedly and "watched her until she had stopped breathing" before calling triple zero, later providing "a chilling description of all that he had done to her" to police, the judge said.
