A TEENAGER who killed her boyfriend found out she was pregnant with his child on the night she stabbed him with a kitchen knife.
The offender was sentenced in the Northern Territory Supreme Court in Alice Springs last week after pleading guilty to manslaughter.
The court heard the teenager was treated in hospital for injuries sustained from payback, after she stabbed her partner in the left thigh, severing the femoral artery.
On the night of the stabbing the offender had been drinking with friends when she and the deceased, who had been in a relationship for about six months, had a jealous fight at Hidden Valley Town Camp.
The court heard the deceased told the offender he did not want to continue the relationship, and would return to Willowra, 340km northwest of Alice Springs.
The court heard the case was yet another incident of violence in Aboriginal communities where alcohol played significant part.

A female backpacker was tricked into a conversation by a man so his acquaintances could rob her vehicle at East Point Reserve about 7.20pm on Saturday.
Watch commander Greg Pusterla said an Aboriginal man approached the woman while she was cleaning her van in the car park and started a conversation with her.
Sen-sgt Pusterla said the woman noticed another two men near the door of her vehicle and later discovered cash, personal cards and other property had been stolen.
"It seems the first man had distracted her while working with the others," Sen-sgt Pusterla said.
One of the men was later located and identified after he was found in possession of some of the stolen property.
"Some of the possessions were recovered," Sen-Sgt Pusterla said.

... A fight then broke out over who was responsible.
A 26-year-old woman was arrested for allegedly smashing three feature but non-stained glass windows and punching her boyfriend for threatening to dob her in.
Church dean Jeremy Greaves allows itinerants to sleep in church grounds if they don't drink.
He is leaving for a small, quiet parish in Queensland next month after nine years in Darwin.
Mr Greaves said one of his reasons for going was "compassion fatigue".
