(AAP) Roger Singaravelu opened his heart and home to a young woman who had left her native Bangladesh to study in Melbourne.
Less than 48 hours later, while napping with his five-year-old daughter, the woman plunged a knife into his neck with such force it snapped in half and embedded in his spine.
Momena Shoma, 26, was jailed on Wednesday for 42 years, with a minimum of 31 and a half years, after admitting to engaging in a terror act on February 9, 2018.
Dressed in a black niqab showing only her eyes, Shoma did not stand for Justice Lesley Ann Taylor when she was sentenced.
Shoma was in Australia on a student visa for eight days when she attacked Mr Singaravelu, her homestay host, using a 25cm kitchen knife she packed.
