[quote]A Melbourne woman has been sentenced to 17 years' jail for stabbing her housemate to death with his own boning knife after he refused to give her money to buy cigarettes.

Anna Horneshaw was 27 years old, and four months pregnant, when she killed 67-year-old Zvonimir Petrovski in the unit they shared in Thomastown in Melbourne's north on November 21, 2015.

Horneshaw's partner, Grant Brennan, also lived in the apartment.

In sentencing Horneshaw to a maximum 17-year jail term with a non-parole period of 13 years, Justice Jane Dixon told the Supreme Court Mr Petrovski was a friend and father figure to Horneshaw.

She said Mr Petrovski, who was an alcoholic and in poor health, was drinking at home with Mr Brennan on the night.

The court heard that when Mr Petrovski refused to give Horneshaw $70 she wanted to buy cigarettes, she became frustrated and punched him in the head.

While he was lying on the floor, she stabbed Mr Petrovski 22 times with his large boning knife.

Justice Dixon described the killing as "completely unprovoked."[/quote]

I think someone who is willing to stab another person over cigarettes wouldn't really give a fuck about smoking, drinking or taking drugs while pregnant.
