A father-of-three called his fiancée “sl*t?” and asked how many exes she had hours before she stabbed him to death in their kitchen.
David Walsh, 29, flew into a rage after arguing with Cathrina ‘Tina’ Cahill in Sydney, Australia, just weeks after they got engaged.He asked Tina: “How many exes have you had you slut?” as the couple went out for drinks with friends in the city, the media reports. Later that night Mr Walsh was knifed by Cahill after they carried on their row back at their home. Friends reported hearing Cahill say her partner “needed to be taught a lesson” moments before she picked up a blade and killed him. Mr Walsh was killed after Cahill and the couple’s two housemates arrived back to their shared home with another man. Cahill admitted killing her fiancée on February 17 last year – but prosecutors accepted her plea to the less serious charge of manslaughter on the basis of substantial impairment. She had originally been charged with his murder. The trial had heard Cahill claim she was often the victim of emotional and physical abuse at her partner’s hands. She claimed he would bite her and accused her of sleeping with other men. Cahill said she could not look at other men when she was out with Mr Walsh, nor could she look in the mirror when driving as there might be a male driver behind.
If she did, she said Mr Walsh would say: “I hope you got a good look, slut”. She testified that Mr Walsh blocked people from her Facebook account, deleted texts and numbers from her phone and was convinced she was having an affair with her boss. He would come to her work to wait for her and make a gesture – which she demonstrated in court – of running a finger across his throat, she said. When asked about Mr Walsh’s death by her barrister James Trevallion, she said: “There is not a day that goes by when I don’t think about David’s family. I loved him so much. He told me no matter what I did I would never get away from him and if I ever got with anybody else he would make my life hell.”Photo Credit: Getty
