The guilty man once bit the earlobe off of a detective who was investigating him.
40-year old Simon Gittany of Sydney, Australia, has been found guilty of murdering his ex- girlfriend, ballerina Lisa Cecilia Harnum, by throwing her off of a high-rise apartment balcony.
The judge handed down the verdict, calling Gittany ”controlling, dominating and, at times, abusive” of Ms Harnum and “apoplectic” with anger when he learned that she intended to leave him.
According to The Guardian, Gittany was captured on surveillance camera slightly over a minute before Harnum died, dragging her into the apartment as she screamed ”Help me, God help me”. Gittany’s current girlfriend screamed abuse at the judge after hearing the verdict and had to be taken from the courtroom.
