NSW: Man used karate move to kill wife
Copyright 2002 AAP Information Services Pty. Ltd.
AAP NEWSFEED
February 22, 2002, Friday
DATELINE: SYDNEY, Feb 22
Twenty years after his wife was killed, a 57-year-old man was today jailed for a minimum of 10 years for using a karate technique to murder the woman.
The body of Christine Rose, 32, was found dumped under a bridge near the NSW city of Armidale in May 1982 - a 3cm bruise on her neck the only sign of foul play. Last November a NSW Supreme Court jury found her estranged husband, Jeffrey Rose, guilty of murdering the mother of three.
In sentencing Rose to a maximum 14 years Justice David Kirby said he accepted evidence given by three witnesses that Rose had boasted that he was familiar with karate and knew how to kill somebody.
The Crown told the jury that Rose, a brown belt in karate, had killed his wife by applying pressure to the Vagus nerve on the neck which could cause the heart to slow or stop.
Two of these witnesses also testified that Rose made threats against his wife.
The Crown alleged Rose was unable to accept that his relationship with his wife was over and killed her out of jealousy.
The Crown used DNA to link Rose to the the site of where Christine Rose's body was dumped and to other evidence found on her clothing.
A preliminary hearing of the case was told that police reopened the murder investigation based on the recollection of the couple's son who was three-years-old at the time of the killing.

oh by no means did I mean that you were purposely doing so ... just that I am sure many of us at times have gotten the urge to spar with our spouses ... (and not just for fun!)  martial artist and domestic abuse is a deadly combo!

Some people should just stay out of the dojo. Thats brutal. I think he should have gotten a tougher sentance! A guy hitting a woman just burns me up.

Hey Blade - why does the victim's gender have any relevance?
If you where attacked by a woman, would you not defend yourself?
Hitting someone is either right or wrong - gender has nothing to do with it.

Well if a woman wanted to fight and sucker punched me or something id do it... otherwise there is no harm in the matter unless the woman is trained in a martial art!

Lets refer back to the article in question here...this was not a matter of self defense or hitting a woman cos she hit you! ... this was a case of domestic violence.
This guy had pressure point training ... the wife wasn't just slapped around here! To apply a pressure point to an area is to know what that end result is going to be (premeditated) .... death or parylization at the least.

Agreed - this was a pre-meditated assault, and was WRONG. It would have been just as wrong if she'd done it to him!
