Rhonda Baker's family broke down in court on Friday, also International Women's Day, as they detailed the profound loss at the hands of Onitolosi Etuini Atiai Latu.

A loving young woman bashed to death by her boyfriend in her Sydney apartment had no chance of surviving his "insane jealousy" and "utter contempt for women", her mother says.

Latu's NSW Supreme Court trial heard he had sent emails threatening to "cave" his girlfriend's head in prior to her death.The 30-year-old has a history of violence towards women and had once karate-kicked another female partner unconscious."A partner's role is to care and love but instead she suffered a life of constant abuse, harm and threatening behaviour," Rhonda's mother, Darcel Baker, read from her victim impact statement on Friday.

Her first-born daughter was found unconscious, not breathing and had no pulse when help arrived after Latu made a triple zero call from the apartment. Latu told emergency services she had been "jumped" and then had a seizure as he asked what had happened.The jury heard evidence she regularly took sick days off work but would return with facial bruises and swelling.

These are individuals. Generalising to all men is clearly stupid. If we generalised to all women on the basis of Clementine Ford we would be laughed at. Most journalism is at the level of grade 6 composition. How have they ever passed a journalism degree? Oh I have one.

What a pig lifeinjail

It better not be a short custodial sentence because “he confessed.” No woman will ever be safe with him, he needs to be locked up until he’s at least 85 if he lives that long.

This man one of the 'others doing worse,' Scott Morrison?
