A tragic and senseless act has resulted in the imprisonment of a bodybuilder, Sven Lindemann, for up to 31 years. The 52-year-old pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court to the murder of his partner, Monique Lezsak, at her Melbourne home on May 30, 2023. This brutal attack occurred just hours after she ended their relationship.
Lezsak's daughter, who goes by the pseudonym Lily, was present during the attack and heard her mother's screams coming from the bedroom. She bravely intervened and tried to stop Lindemann, even kicking him and attempting to take the knives out of his hands. However, Lindemann, fueled by jealousy and anger, continued his violent rampage and used a total of six knives to inflict fatal stab wounds to Lezsak's head, neck, and chest.
During this frenzied and terrifying attack, Lily also sustained five wounds. Justice Elizabeth Hollingworth, in her sentencing, noted that Lindemann showed no remorse for his actions and even tried to shift the blame onto Lezsak. The judge also commended Lily for her bravery and strength in trying to protect her mother.
Lindemann's actions were motivated by jealousy and a sense of entitlement, and the court found him guilty of a "violent and frenzied" murder. Despite the severity of his crime, Lindemann will be eligible for parole after serving 25 years in prison. As his sentence was handed down, he remained emotionless, while Lezsak's loved ones in the courtroom expressed relief and embraced each other.
