Colin Maxwell Farrow, 41, was found guilty last month of the stabbing murder of his drug dealer, Linda Stevens.

Ms Stevens’ body was found gagged and wrapped in bedding in an abandoned car in Wollongong’s north in April 2013.

Farrow had pleaded not guilty on the grounds of mental illness and claimed his only memory of the killing was looking in a mirror and seeing himself soaked in blood.

He will be sentenced in the Supreme Court.
