"It was alleged Austic attempted to persuade Ms Thorne to have an abortion, sending text messages begging and pleading with her not to have the baby.
On the night of Ms Thorne's death, Austic was said to be so drunk he was refused service at the local Boddington hotel, and after having sex with Ms Thorne, allegedly returned on foot to her home some time later and stabbed her 21 times with a folding knife.
He then allegedly walked home, leaving Ms Thorne to die, before burning his clothes in a wood-fire heater and washing his thongs in an attempt to hide evidence."
