Man jailed for killing partner in Qld

A man has spent his first night behind bars after being sentenced for the manslaughter of his partner at a Brisbane caravan park.

Nathan Rodney O'Malley, 40, received an 11-year jail term on Thursday at the Brisbane Supreme Court after pleading guilty to the manslaughter of 41-year-old Olivia Tung in March 2016.

The court heard O'Malley originally told paramedics she'd fallen off the toilet in the caravan they shared.

Ms Tung was found lying without pants inside the caravan after he kneed her in the back and stomach.

She was taken to hospital where she died after suffering injuries to her liver, face and head at a time when she was still healing from fractures to her ribs, sternum and lower back.

"This was not the first occasion on which you had inflicted violence on your partner," Justice David Boddice said.

"In my view your conduct properly is to be described as involving a brutal, unprovoked attack on a slight, vulnerable woman."

During his sentencing O'Malley told the court: "I do take full responsibility of my actions, I don't blame anyone."

He must serve 80 per cent of his sentence in jail before applying for parole.
