A 21-year-old nursing student, Jasmeen Kaur, was tragically buried alive in an act of revenge, according to court proceedings.
Tarikjot Singh, a 22-year-old man from Adelaide, pleaded guilty to the murder.
Singh, who had been rejected by Kaur, bound her with tape and cable ties before carrying out the horrific act.
During the sentencing submissions in the South Australian Supreme Court on Wednesday (05), prosecutor Carman Matteo SC revealed that Singh had committed the murder as an act of revenge, The Guardian reported.
The prosecution said that Singh planned the killing in advance and abducted Kaur from her workplace in March 2021.
Kaur's lifeless body was discovered in a shallow grave at Moralana Creek in South Australia's mid-north.
She was found with her hands bound behind her back with a cable tie, and her feet were taped and cable-tied together.
It was also revealed in court that she had inhaled and swallowed soil.
Singh, who was scheduled to face trial, changed his plea to guilty during his arraignment in February.
He now faces a mandatory life sentence, and the court will determine the non-parole period next month.

Police may probe anti-Israel comments at Glastonbury
BRITISH police said they were considering whether to launch an investigation after performers at Glastonbury Festival made anti-Israel comments during their shows.
"We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon," Avon and Somerset Police, in western England, said on X late on Saturday (28).
Irish hip-hop group Kneecap and punk duo Bob Vylan made anti-Israeli chants in separate shows on the West Holts stage on Saturday. One of the members of Bob Vylan chanted "Death, death, to the IDF" in a reference to the Israel Defense Forces.
"Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation," the police statement said.
The Israeli Embassy in Britain said it was "deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival".
Prime minister Keir Starmer said earlier this month it was "not appropriate" for Kneecap to appear at Glastonbury.
The band's frontman Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged with a terrorism offence last month for allegedly displaying a flag in support of Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah at a concert in November. He has denied the charge.
A British government minister said it was appalling that the anti-Israel chants had been made at Glastonbury, and that the festival's organisers and the BBC broadcaster - which is showing the event - had questions to answer.
Health secretary Wes Streeting said he was also appalled by violence committed by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank.
"I'd also say to the Israeli Embassy, get your own house in order in terms of the conduct of your own citizens and the settlers in the West Bank," Streeting told Sky News.
"I wish they'd take the violence of their own citizens towards Palestinians more seriously," he said.
