A woman who choked an Indian-origin man to death had googled ways to “kill and get away with it,” a court has heard.
Jamie Lee Dolheguy invited Maulin Rathod to her address in Victoria, Melbourne, in July 2018 after meeting him on a dating app.
While they were in bed, she choked him and strangled him to death with a USB cable.
She called emergency services and said: “I think I’ve killed someone. I didn’t want to, but I did it.”
The court heard she also told officers: “It feels so good. I don’t want to be a killer.”
She also told police that she had warned Rathod of her “psychopathic tendencies” and had warned him that she “wasn’t safe”.
Although paramedics managed to resuscitate Rathod and he was taken to hospital, he died the following day.
Rathod was studying a Masters of Accounting and had been in Australia for the past four years.
