A man who stalked then murdered a woman in her Christchurch home has been sentenced to life imprisonment.
Nathan Boulter was sentenced in the High Court at Christchurch this afternoon by Justice Owen Paulsen after pleading guilty to murdering Chantal McDonald in July last year.
He was jailed for life with a minimum non-parole period of 17 years.
McDonald had been in a brief relationship with Boulter.
After she ended it, he harassed, stalked and threatened her, making nearly 600 calls in two weeks.
Boulter stabbed her 55 times with a hunting knife, as she arrived to her Parklands home with her children.
