Nirmeen Noufl, 56, appeared before the Supreme Court for sentencing on Friday — weeks after a backflip in court and admitting to killing her husband Mamdouh at their southwest Sydney home in May 2023.
Court documents seen by 7NEWS.com.au revealed Nirmeen stabbed and killed Mamdouh sometime on May 3 as an argument between the couple spiralled and he became violent, chasing her around the house and striking her.
The agreed upon facts state that in May 2023, Mamdouh told Nirmeen he planned to leave her to marry another woman in his home country of Egypt.
Hamill sentenced Nirmeen to a total of six years and three months behind bars with a non-parole period of three years stretching back to her arrest in 2024, meaning she will be first eligible for release in October 2027.

The article, shortened and in plain language
A mother who stabbed and killed her husband before dismembering his body to be dumped in rubbish bins could be released as early as next year.
Nirmeen Noufl, 56, appeared before the Supreme Court for sentencing on Friday — weeks after a backflip in court and admitting to killing her husband Mamdouh at their southwest Sydney home in May 2023.
Nirmeen returned to court on Friday to hear Justice Peter Hammill’s judgement on the case, which he said had some “unusual” details.
Court documents seen by 7NEWS.com.au revealed Nirmeen stabbed and killed Mamdouh sometime on May 3 as an argument between the couple spiralled and he became violent, chasing her around the house and striking her.
Nirmeen would dismember Mamdouh’s body over the following days and pack him into rubbish bags to be disposed in rubbish bins across Sydney before cleaning the floors of her home with bleach.
While the Crown agreed on the facts, it argued the dismemberment of Mamdouh’s body meant the evidence could only rely upon Nirmeen’s account.
The agreed upon facts state that in May 2023, Mamdouh told Nirmeen he planned to leave her to marry another woman in his home country of Egypt.
Nirmeen was 10 years younger than Mamdouh when they first met at their marriage ceremony in November 1991.
Hamill sentenced Nirmeen to a total of six years and three months behind bars with a non-parole period of three years stretching back to her arrest in 2024, meaning she will be first eligible for release in October 2027.
