Killer gets jail and a spearing!

-

A MAN who savagely beat his girlfriend and then fled into the bush will spend at least 12 years behind bars – before being SPEARED in both legs five times on his release.

Danny Ferguson, 36, was found guilty of the manslaught­er of his 34- year- old partner Serena Amos near Oodnadatta, an outback town in South Australia, in July 2015.

He was sentenced to 15 years with a 12- year non- parole period, but also agreed to endure the spearing as part of a traditiona­l Aboriginal punishment for his crime.

In his murder trial, the Supreme Court heard Ferguson repeatedly beat Ms Amos while the pair were on a week- long camping trip together.

His repeated attacks led to extensive internal bleeding and her eventual death. EVERYONE sleeps in one of six positions: ‘ foetus’, ‘ log’, ‘ yearner’, ‘ soldier’, ‘ freefaller’ or ‘ starfish’
