Jail for murdering wife

A MAN has been jailed for 21 years after murdering his estranged wife at her Noble Park home in 2013.
Bona Lual, 37, pleaded guilty to fatally stabbing 31-year-old Suzi Oghia while their four children, aged two to 12, slept nearby.
Supreme Court Judge Justice Terry Forrest told the court that Lual followed Ms Oghia for about a month before murdering her, threatening to kill her and any man she dated.
He described Lual as “jealous and controlling“ and said Ms Oghia feared for her life before her murder, according to the ABC.
In 2005 Ms Oghia and Lual moved to Australia from South Sudan.
Justice Forrest took Lual’s difficult upbringing into account in the sentence.
He said when Lual was 12, he and his mother were abused by rebels and his mother died weeks later.
