A Melbourne woman who killed her husband after years of domestic abuse has been sentenced to seven years' jail.
Jemma Edwards, 45, from Highett pleaded guilty in the Victorian Supreme Court to defensive homicide. In January 2011, she called authorities claiming two men had stabbed her husband James Edwards at their home before fleeing.
Mr Edwards suffered a wound to the back inflicted by a spear gun and had been stabbed repeatedly. He suffered more than 30 injuries.
Later, his wife confessed that she had killed him, but said she had acted in self-defence.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
