An international businesswoman who murdered her married lover, stabbing him in the heart after learning of an affair, has been jailed for at least 12 years. Jenny Niguidula, 47, stabbed 53-year-old Rhonie Apostol with a kitchen knife on November 17, 2019 after the pair furiously argued outside Sydney’s international airport a week earlier. Niguidula pleaded guilty to manslaughter, which prosecutors rejected, and was found guilty of murder by a jury in June.
The judge was not satisfied she was substantially impaired, which the jury also rejected when it found her guilty of murder. However, her mental condition contributed, along with a fluctuating but heightened emotional state after she learned of the affair. Dhanji found Niguidula’s mental disorders lowered the moral culpability of her crime but the intimate aspects of the relationship increased its objective gravity.
