A Canberra woman whose body was found in the back of a car abandoned by her ex-boyfriend on the NSW South Coast pleaded with him to stop stalking her in the days before she was murdered.
New details have emerged of the ordeal Daniela D’Addario, 35, was put through in the weeks before she was strangled by ex-boyfriend Josaia Vosikata, 29, in April 2015.
Vosikata pleaded guilty to her murder earlier this year, and appeared in the ACT Supreme Court on Friday for a brief hearing over disputed facts.
According to court documents, Vosikata became obsessed with Ms D’Addario after she ended their three-month relationship in early 2015.
He regularly sat outside her apartment in Bruce, sent her dozens of text messages and emails and formed a belief she may be pregnant with his child.
Nine days before her murder, Vosikata broke into Ms D’Addario’s apartment with a spare key in the early hours of the morning and attempted to sexually assault her, fleeing only when she called police.
Days later she emailed him, pleading with him to stop harassing her.
“Please listen to me … I do not ever want to see you again,” Ms D’Addario’s email read.
“Do not send me emails or texts or try to call me … Do not come to my house … Leave me alone!”
In the morning of April 19 Vosikata gained entry to Ms D’Addario’s apartment, straddling her on her bed and strangling her to death.
Shortly afterwards he filmed himself having sex with her body.

Did you know that an ex even an abusive one will not be charged with trespass if the children, no matter how young or intimidated, let the man come in. Not saying that this happened in this case but considering his lawyer is arguing the trespass charge on a technicality (I'd say they are arguing that), maybe we need to look at these trespass laws to make it harder for ex partners to access.
What the hell is wrong with these males who believe that if a woman rejects them, they have to right to take her life?!! The arrogance. The ego. Lock this psycho up for life and throw away the key.
