A Victorian man has admitted to manslaughter after his partner was found with severe injuries and later died.
Paul Philip McDonough, 40, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the Supreme Court of Victoria on Thursday, more than three years after 28-year-old Bekkie-Rae Curren-Trinca was found with head and spinal injuries at her Warrnambool home.
After she was found on November 27, 2019, she was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital, where she died on December 4.
McDonough was originally charged with intentionally causing serious injury and then murder, before that charge was ultimately replaced with manslaughter.
Judge Amanda Fox ordered McDonough's trial, which was set down for February next year, be vacated.
He was remanded in custody on Thursday to face a plea hearing in April 2023.
