Sydney woman sentenced for manslaughter after dismembering abusive husband

Nirmeen Noufl received a six-year-nine-month sentence for manslaughter after killing and dismembering her husband Mamdouh in May 2024, with parole possible in October 2027.

In a Greenacre home, Nirmeen Noufl stabbed her husband Mamdouh during an alleged physical attack and subsequently used a circular saw to dismember his body, scattering the pieces in garbage bins throughout Bexley and Chullora. Prosecutors dropped the murder charge after a plea agreement acknowledging the abuse, resulting in a manslaughter conviction. Justice Peter Hamill handed down a six-year-nine-month sentence, retroactively applied to her October 2024 arrest, which sets a non-parole period of three years and makes her eligible for parole in October 2027.

Mamdouh’s remains have never been located. Outside the courthouse, Mamdouh’s nephew shouted profanities and called for a 25-to-life sentence. Support services for domestic violence victims were listed in the report.

Why it matters

The case highlights legal handling of domestic abuse fatalities and the potential for reduced charges in such contexts.
