US Edition‘Extremely scary’: Heartbroken mother welcomes move against daughter’s killer
- Tyrone Thompson stabbed his ex-girlfriend Mackenzie Anderson 78 times in March 2022 at her Newcastle apartment while on parole.
- Thompson was on parole after being jailed in October 2021 for assault, intimidation, and property damage against Anderson and had ignored a domestic violence order banning contact.
- The frenzied two-minute attack involved two kitchen knives, one of which snapped, and was aggravated by prior domestic violence and Anderson's fear of Thompson ending their on-again, off-again relationship since 2019.

- Anderson's mother welcomed the Director of Public Prosecutions' appeal against the sentence, calling the current ruling an 'insult to women globally' and stressing the case's importance for future domestic violence law.
