Jury deliberates in love triangle murder

A jury is continuing its deliberations in the case of a man accused of murdering his partner's lover after catching the pair having sex.

Roy Tabalbag, 31, admits stabbing chef Amin Sthapit, 30, to death after finding him naked with his long-term girlfriend Geecy Rebucas in their Darling Point unit in Sydney's east in November 2013.

But he told his Supreme Court murder trial he had an out-of-body experience when he reached for the knife and pleaded not guilty to murder on the grounds that witnessing the affair had provoked him to suspend normal reasoning.

The jury retired on Monday afternoon.
