A Mankato man has been sentenced for stabbing his girlfriend three dozen times during a police pursuit and then slitting her throat while high on meth last year.

Officers were first called to a home on May 30, 2023 around 1:27 p.m. by a woman who said her brother, Dustin Lee Murilla, 35, had blocked the driveway and assaulted his girlfriend before speeding off in a white Lincoln Navigator.
