WARNING: The following story contains details that may distress some readers.
James Anthony Sorgiovanni, 29, had been on trial for the murder of Tara Morrison, whose body was found in his Busselton house in 2024.
Ms Morrison had been visiting the house Mr Sorgiovanni shared with his girlfriend Hannah Louise Glover, who had also been charged with murder but pleaded guilty part-way through the trial.
Her guilty plea followed the evidence of an inmate who said Glover — who was formerly Ms Morrison's girlfriend — had confessed to the killing in prison.
The court was earlier told Ms Morrison was killed in a frenzied attack arising from a “love triangle”.
The jury started deliberating on Monday afternoon but after days of discussing the case, could not reach a unanimous verdict on the charge of murder and was discharged today.
