Stabbing details revealed

PETA Airini Nocon sobbed as she listened to the 000 call she made after fatally stabbing her 19-year-old partner with a "very large knife" in 2009.

The recording was played yesterday in Rockhampton Supreme Court, on the second day of Nocon's trial for the manslaughter of her former fiance, Dylan James Scattergood.

Crown prosecutor Michael Cowen said the couple was arguing that morning at the Boyne Island home they shared with Nocon's parents.

He told the jury Nocon was fixing the handle of a "very large knife". Mr Scattergood intended to sell his guitar to buy cigarettes but when he started to leave Nocon grabbed his shoulder.

Mr Cowen said the couple began to struggle and Mr Scattergood twisted Nocon's arm, causing the knife to make a gash in her elbow.

He said Mr Scattergood punched Nocon, causing her to fall across a coffee table. Nocon was getting up when Mr Scattergood charged towards her and she held the knife out, causing it to plunge into his abdomen.

The trial continues today.
