“There was no dispute Jensen stabbed Ms Mullavey that night, Ms Knowles told the court.
He switched clothes and took a train to a friend's place in Sydney's northern beaches where he stayed the night.
Eight days later, he admitted he had killed Ms Mullavey.
Ms Knowles pressed a different finding, saying Jensen's beliefs in witchcraft and conspiracy theories could be cultural rather than due to mental health.
The 35-year-old's conduct after the killing, including by lying and covering up what he did, showed he knew what he had done was wrong, she said.
Another option available to Justice Boulten is finding Jensen guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter due to a mental health condition substantially impairing his thinking.”
