Traven Fisher is jailed for 14 years over the 'despicable' manslaughter of his pregnant partner whose body was found in the boot of a car.
Ms Lomas' brother Adair Lomas read victim impact statements for himself and other family members to the court.
He told the court his family could not comprehend his sister and her baby's "despicable" death at the hands of a "so-called loved one"."Our family will never be the same again." Before leaving the witness box, Mr Lomas called Fisher an "evil animal" and other expletives and told him to "own up", and the court was forced to adjourn.Killer 'motivated by self-preservation' to avoid conviction
The court heard the pair had been in a "dysfunctional" domestic violence relationship and both were drug users and had significant mental health issues. Fisher also had a serious criminal history, including the rape of a toddler, and was "functionally illiterate" and diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, the court heard.When handing down his sentence on Wednesday, Justice Peter Davis said he believed Fisher had not displayed accountability, rather he was "primarily motivated by self-preservation" to avoid a murder conviction.
