WELLINGTON: An Indian student who killed his pregnant girlfriend in a frenzied knife attack in New Zealand after she told him the baby was **t his was sentenced to life imprisonment on Tuesday.
The man, who goes by the single name Akash, displayed “cruelty, brutality and callousness” in murdering 22-year-old Gurpreet Kaur, Auckland High Court judge Matthew Palmer said.
The judge said the pair were secretly dating for 12 months but Akash, 24, snapped on April 7 this year when Kaur told him the baby was **t his and she wanted to end the relationship.
High on methamphetamine, he stabbed her 29 times and dumped the body in roadside bushes south of Auckland.
